Corsa side pipes in the water?

[1979 Quartermasters]

I installed the side exit pipe, I think, a little low. Was wondering if this is a problem. There is lots of rise from the exit to the elbow. At idle they're two inches above the water and when accelerate they go under water. When the boat gets on plane they come back out. First time, I thought it had stalled.

I guess I'm stuck with it like that, but I was wondering if it is ok. I ran it all day on Sunday with no problems. I'll include a pic as soon as icloud puts it onto my laptop.

Thanks.....

Re: Corsa side pipes in the water?

No issues that I can think of. The factory exhaust is underwater, I'm sure the Corsa tips don't care, either. As long as you have flappers/shutters in the system to avoid reversion, you'll likely be fine. I would try and avoid making turns to that side when coming off plane to avoid the stern wave from hitting the tips and forcing water up the exhaust, even with the shutters in place.
