Westcoast pipe install question

I have a question about my westcoast pipe install. It's about the cooling lines. Attached is a picture of how I have my engine set up now (and a picture I found on eBay of a westcoast pipe). The cooling works like this at the moment....

Jet ---------> exhaust manifold -------> Head ---(in line T to pisser)---> BACK of Head pipe-----> From FRONT of head pipe ---------> stinger

It was suggested that the water wont flow correctly from the back of the head pipe to the front. That is, the line in to the head pipe should use the front fitting, and the line out should use the back. It was also suggested the T should be OTW to the stinger instead of OTW to the head pipe. More like this....

Jet ---------> exhaust manifold -------> Head ---------> FRONT of head pipe --------> out BACK of head pipe ------(in line T to pisser)-----> stinger

As you can see in the picture, the T is there, but the pisser line isn't hooked up yet. Will it work correctly the way I have it now? Or should it be changed to the way it was suggested? It all looks the same to me, but if there are restricters in the pipe and it's designed to flow a certain way, I will change it.

The XI SS had 2 pissers on it, but the head pipe had 3 outlets...

he said from the head to the top of the manifold. theres nothing right about that. im not sure what he meant there.....

ive always gone from the head to the back of the headpipe, then out the front into the stinger.
Sorry, meant the top of the headpipe.

By top do you mean front, or back? They are about the same level... The one in the front of the head pipe is slightly higher. I'm assuming you mean the front.
