Mercruiser exhaust parts are finished better, and coated better(ceramic)
than aftermarket. Prices are very competative too.

If your exhaust manifold couples to an elbow, then apparently a riser is not
part of your system. Why would you think you need one?

only becuase in all the mercruiser diagrams and manuals they show "optional"
riser...

Look at your engine. You don't need any more parts than are there now!

Generally speaking, the only reason you need a riser is if, in your
particular installation, the manifold or elbow outlet is at such a height
that the final exhaust tube to the transom exhaust outlet has a very gentle
pitch, so that there *might* be a chance of backflow into the manifold in
pitching seas. If the original factory installation did not include a
riser, then you probably don't need one.
