Putting in a new set up. Just curious what everyone's opinions are for routing.

Thanks!

. This is what I use for wet headers. The only difference is I had a override valve at the driver seat for the headers. But what you have is standard

Thanks Jarvis

Thanks Jim, Planning on adding the override valve in the future. Everything Ive had before had logs so when I came to this point had to stop and scratch my head. Honestly just trying to get something shady in it to get the break in complete. waiting on my order of AN fitting to show up then I can make it a little nicer.

. Your welcome glad I could help.   I have dry header now so it's just in and out.

There was a very informative thread on this topic not too long ago. I think.

You can still preheat. It's just tricky.

Speak of the devil, hey Glen! I doubt I'll ever need the preheat really. San Diego lakes and Martinez area of the river are the only places I end up and the waters are pretty warm
