Stainless marine exhaust installation of hoses
Oringinal manifolds were two hose style. These stainless marine are one hose style, any info on the hose hook up? Its on a 454 mercruiser.

The options are to:
Use the Y's that Mild Thunder posted.
Install a T fitting in the hose between the exhaust manifold and the riser.
Get a new Stainless T Stat housing with only 2 outlet hoses like this http://www.diamondperformanceparts.c...8&cat=0&page=2

I used Y's on mine account I got them given to me, had I not I'd have prolly gone with the 2 hose t-stat housing, as Griff mentioned all will work, pick your poison.

No, I have run the same manifolds with both a 2 hose thermostat housing (502 MPI) and a 4 hose thermostat housing (HP500) and the temps on everything have been great. You may want to measure your water pressure though when running as it can run a little high at higher speeds.
