My opinion is the Catalina design as installed at the factory is fine and nearly 8000 Catalina 30's bear this out. It's when owners who think they know more than the factory get involved and "improve" the design that problems result. Of course then it's a Catalina 30 with exhaust design problems and Catalina gets the blame.
I happen to think the Catalina 30 exhaust design is limited due to engine placement and cabinetry configuration therefore all the more reason to follow the factory example faithfully.
