In turbo marine engines the mixer is a pipe that introduces your raw water (sea water) into your exhaust after the turbo for muffling, cooling and an exit for your raw water. there are a few things to be considered when setting this up.
#1 exhaust angel: you must have a vary steep exhaust angel after the turbo as you don't want water draining back into your exhaust ports.
#2 aqua lift and or flapper valve: an aqua lift is a great muffler and will stop water being forced back up the system on deceleration and reversing. the flapper valve will just help prevent water going up the exhaust.
i personally would keep away from the jet ski stuff and use a direct drive with a soft clutch.
