This might be close to the solution.. I wonder what makes them say ”must be used with our manifolds” ...

They are slightly different then Merc because otherwise its patent infringement

But hopefully same bolt pattern 😬 I’ll call them and see if its possible to fit or not... the ”new” mans I got now are china anyway under the merc elbows.

I probably wont buy full kit anyhow so they loose nothing by being honest... (if it dont come out.. ehrmm)

Ayuh,..... Check the gasket surfaces for Flatness,.....

I once found their manifolds to be .020" / .030" low for the exhaust rim, vs: the outer rim on a set of manifolds,....

Decked 'em at my local machine shop, 'n no worries since,....

Used both Merc, 'n aftermarket risers on 'em, always with Merc gaskets though,.....
