GLM's Cast Iron Wet Joint & Dry Joint Marine Manifolds & Elbows

GLM is the Leader of the Aftermarket Marine Parts Industry.

Designed to Increase Performance, Reduce Back Pressure
and Add More Horsepower to Your Engine!


Cast Iron Manifolds are Black Painted
for Corrosion Resistance!


COOLER RUNNING ELBOWS / RISERS

In the MerCruiser 4" Riser, there are two
extra ports at each side. This allows water
to exit more efficiently, keeping engine cooler.



FULLY TUNED SMALL BLOCK MANIFOLD

Our fully tuned design guides exhaust gases directly to riser without turbulence and back pressure. This increases the engines performace up to 10%. In the meantime, an additional 40% water cooling area will decrease the entire manifold body temperature significantly.



FULLY TUNED BIG BLOCK MANIFOLD

Our fully tuned design will reduce turbulence and enhance flow for added performance. An extra 30% water cooling area will help reduce temperature in the exhaust exit area allowing for longer gasket life.




WET JOINT MANIFOLDS / ELBOWS (1983-2002) - INTERNAL COOLING EXHAUST SYSTEM

From 1983 to 2002 MerCruiser used an internal method of transferring water from the manifolds to the elbow. This is called the "Wet Joint" exhaust system. In this system the water jackets are casted directly into the elbow..




DRY JOINT MANIFOLDS / ELBOWS (2002-2010) - EXTERNAL COOLING EXHAUST SYSTEM

In 2002 MerCruiser improved the method of transferring water from the manifold to the elbow. This is called the "Dry Joint" exhaust system. This system uses external water passages to stop any leakage inside the exhaust ports due to corrosion or blocked passages.




DRY JOINT ALTERNATIVE - A WET JOINT REPLACEMENT OF YOUR DRY JOINT SYSTEM

GLM has removed the external water ports and cast water jackets directly into the elbows & manifolds, replacing the "Dry Joint" system with the standard "Wet Joint" system. GLM has also added two extra water ports and a larger bottom port for elbow No. 51148. This allows for maximum water flow through the riser, reducing the chance of blockage.
