I have little confidence that any aftermarket exhaust for the small blocks, 6.2 included, would measurably improve the in water performance. Stock or GLM style manifolds with 4" thru hull are all you need in my opinion.

As always performance exhaust are a requirement of very healthy motors! Not the other way around, making healthy power out of stock internally limited ones! Save your coin and don't believe the marketing hype!
P.S. Other than weight as SB mentioned.

A member here (ExpensiveDate) put aluminum IMCO manifolds on his 292 with twin 6.2's. He noticed more midrange punch but no real gain on the top end. The weight savings was noticeable in quicker planing and better handling. The 292 is tail heavy to begin with, so any help in weight reduction back there is a benefit. I'm considering making the swap this winter.

I'm going through this right now. Emi thunders with the short SS risers. It's a 2004 Sunsation 32 mcob, 6.2. The emi's are 2" taller and I have corsa captains call so the down leg tube needs to be longer. Also made my own brackets and cooling hose configuration. I also like the lighter weight of the twin package.

Typically unless you're trying to solve the problem of reversion because of a fat cam, an aftermarket exhaust system is a waste, although looks, sound, and weight savings are enough to be of value to some folks.
