Why not remove, strip, and polish your existing stainless risers?

Your not going to pick up any HP with just a riser swap. If you swaped for some headers they claim up to 40HP but your not going to see any change other than the noise without some other mods. I am sot sure if the stock are stainless or not but ti dress them up you could just powdercoat the stock ones to any color you like.

Does removing the turbulator in between the stock riser and manifold net any HP gains?
Here are some shots of the risers polished vs. some CMI's

Here is another shot CMI's and different covers. F&M Custom Cowlings is where I purchased mine from. Had great service and looks great when you open the hatch.
