2005 Four Winns Exhaust Manifold Question

I have a 2005 5.0 MPI Mercruiser and I am needing to replace the exhaust manifolds and risers. It has the dry joint manifolds on it. I would like to know what is the best ones to buy and where to get them? I am seeing a great difference in some of the prices which makes me wonder what the difference is.

Barr or OEM are the best quality. Some of the cheaper aftermarket ones are just that cheap

Thank you! I have spent some time poking around the web and found a lot of info after asking the question on here.
My exhaust flappers are intact but don't seal tight against the wall of the wye pipe. It has about a half inch ether side. Should it seal against the pipe or have a gap?
 
you say they are intact, do the edges have rubber on them? If not they should be replaced.

Your original exhaust manifolds lasted almost 20 years. Buy Mercruiser new ones and you should get the same life span.

Why consider any other choice? What to save a few hundred dollars for parts you will never have to buy again?
 
Thanks! I agree after reading the different reviews. Yes the flaps have the rubber on them. They just don't spring out against the pipe. Didn't know if they should or not.
