no worries i always do what voices in my head tell me and they told me that a stock runners were 26mm and merge collectors were like that or even less, mean while mine are 33mm and 40mm, therefore they cannot be restrictive at least for a stock engine

bluezbike wrote: That all looks really cool, great fab skills. Only observation I have (and this is not founded on any real knowledge) is that the final exhaust pipe size seems the same as the individual ones, will that not constrict flow too much? I have a 4/1 Kerker and the final pipe is about 80% smaller x-section that the total of the other 4 pipes. That tank looks absolutely beautiful


I thought the same thing, but i am a grom. Judging by your fab skills, i assume you know what you were doing. What is the formula for merge/header collection ?
