We have a member in our club his screen name is Capt. Jim. He's got a buddy who has the tail pipe up to his roof. All the guy did was take some pipe, welded on a 90 degree piece and then extended the tube up to the roof. Put a support piece half way up to keep it from moving. Capt. Jim may be able to get ya in contact with the guy and then maybe ya could get some pics. I would definately extend your pipe up to the roof, I'd hate to be in the water and stall out. Easy and very cheap modification to save your engine. Good luck.
