Mercruiser calls it an exhaust resonator. Supposed to help break up intake pulses that might revert water in to the manifolds. I think they were announced in a service bulletin some time back. I have run with/without them and have still had reversion trouble. They claim they do not reduce power, and have a printed procedure that comes with the kit that tells you how to intall them at different distances from the riser and then check for reversion (to find the best location).
