It carries a machined exterior finish and is built to the fit, mounting pattern, and performance specifications of the original manifold, making it a straightforward swap for boat owners replacing a cracked, corroded, or worn exhaust manifold. The machined exterior provides a clean mating surface for gaskets and mounting hardware at the manifold interface. EMP has manufactured OEM and aftermarket marine parts for over 40 years, engineering products in the Mercruiser exhaust manifold category for both recreational and commercial marine engines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe manifold measures 8 x 7 x 20 inches and weighs 48.5 pounds. Mounting kits, elbows, risers, and gaskets designed for the 18-1953-2 manifold are sold separately and remain compatible with this replacement unit, since the 57-57520 is engineered as a direct equivalent to that part number. Each unit is identified by UPC 840080499598 to help confirm you are ordering the correct manifold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Engineered Marine Products\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 57-57520\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 x 7 x 20 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 48.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExterior Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Machined\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 840080499598\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mercruiser exhaust manifold replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReplaces (OEM):\u003c\/strong\u003e 18-1953-2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eManufactured for the Mercruiser exhaust manifold application as a replacement for part number 18-1953-2.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e18-1953-2\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the EMP 57-57520 exhaust manifold replace?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 57-57520 is manufactured as a direct replacement for Mercruiser exhaust manifold 18-1953-2.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the manufacturer part number for this exhaust manifold?\u003c\/strong\u003e The manufacturer part number is 57-57520, made by Engineered Marine Products.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does this exhaust manifold weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The EMP 57-57520 exhaust manifold weighs 48.5 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions of the 57-57520 manifold?\u003c\/strong\u003e It measures 8 x 7 x 20 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat engines is this exhaust manifold designed for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 57-57520 is built for the Mercruiser exhaust manifold application, engineered as a direct equivalent to Mercruiser part 18-1953-2.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 57-57520 a genuine OEM part or an aftermarket replacement?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is an aftermarket manifold manufactured by Engineered Marine Products, engineered to the same fit and specifications as the original Mercruiser 18-1953-2 manifold it replaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the exterior finish on this manifold?\u003c\/strong\u003e The EMP 57-57520 has a machined exterior finish that provides a clean mating surface for gaskets and mounting hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 57-57520 include mounting hardware or gaskets?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. Mounting kits, elbows, risers, and gaskets are sold separately from the 57-57520 manifold itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I reuse my existing elbows and risers with this replacement manifold?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes.
