I got six billet water outlets from riva, I was using 3 for the head water outlets and 3 for the triple pipe water outlets.

As you know factory pipes supply a water exit manifold to go 3 in 1. Should I use this manifold for the pipes or go striaght out with the 3 billet outlets ?? Any effect in performance or cooling ???

If I had to use the water exit manifold, do I have to route the hose pipe to one single billet outlet ?? is that enough for the factory pipes ??

Were is the best to place the 3 outlets from the head ??

any inputs are appriciated guys, I need your help to tell me whats best

malta,
toss the manifold and put 4 out the back on the side of the boat and use the 2 stock ones in the front .

I agree. Trash the 3 into 1.
Using the front fittings allows you to see if water is flowing through the engine.

Using the stock ones does not allow you to see anything. I used three in front below the gas cap to be able to tell if water is flowing thru the heads which to me is the most critical one.

I used the exit water manifold and connected it accordingly and used clear hose of the exit section of the stinger filters to be able to see if it flows.

Malta, Dana did my boat the way he described, out the back, and utilized the two front bypass fittings. Theres a pic. of it on a thread named "UNMATCHED R-3" on page 25, it came out great, trash the second manifold.
