Yes.
I only use OEM exhaust parts.
I have seen first hand aftermarket brands corroded badly, it’s worth spending more now and less later.
So, you have two choices, E-coated or ceramic coated.
Good prices here https://nuwavemarine.com/riser-elbows-2/
Through my research on the subject, I believe if you replace your exhaust elbows (and manifolds if salt water cooled) every five years the E-coated version is fine and you’ll save about $75-80/elbow.
I personally prefer the ceramic coated versions and never had problem over many different boats.
