The sizing of the existing gas outlet accounted for the water to begin with, and because its exhausting as a steady stream instead of being pushed out by the exhaust gasses, it should pour instead of splash, and it will never do that "clear the throat" thing you get from just having a lift.
I would love it if this works as described. In fact, I'll probably try this first and report back on results. If it eliminates 80% of the splashing I'll be thrilled.
