Exhaust Riser question

[RomanRegal]

HI, I have a 1987 Mercruiser 350 s/b, 260 hp. I have replaced the manifolds and risers. The riser is a four inch diameter, replacing the three inch. These particular risers have a long exhaust snout that fits into the exhaust pipe. It is about two inches too long. This snout is three iches. Would I be doing any harm to the riser itself of I cut off two inches of the three inch snout that protrudes from the four inch port in the exhaust sideof the riser. Thanks Roman

Re: Exhaust Riser question

on a lot of risers you have to be carefull because of were the water mixes with the exaust <br /><br />you could end up cutting right through the water jacket or not be able to hold the hose on very well<br /><br />dons had posted a picture about the same thing and the water went pretty far on that one<br /><br />tommays

Don't cut it. Replace with the 3" that should be there in the first place.
