My 2004 Crusader 8.1L has two exhaust options: heated and unheated 4" riser (spacer). One option passes sea water through the 4" riser up to the exhaust elbow and out with the exhaust. The other option passes sea water directly to the exhaust elbow and out with the exhaust. I can plumb for either option. Why are there two options? Is one better than the other? It would seem that not passing sea water through the 4" riser would reduce corrosion potential. Thank you for your response.
