I also redesigned my exhaust system. I went back to the original manifold for my engine (exhaust facing aft rather than forward), made an exhaust pipe with cooling water insertion using about $35 of common plumbing parts, ran the cooled exhaust directly down into the bilge to a small Aqualift gismo, and then ran an exhaust hose from the Aqualift over the top of the engine and out the orignal Y30 hole through the bulkhead and up to the original place in the head where it connects to the original exhaust hose which runs down the port side. It works well but there are a couple of tricks you would want to understand if you decide to try this. Big advantage is there is no big cumbersome expensive standpipe gismo and all parts that corrode over time can be easily replaced for very little money. Also you can use a standard exhaust manifold on your engine.
