Do a search. This subject has been discussed on this forum many times.

Joe, to make a long story short, if your primary tubes are too big then a merge collector will help you. If they're too small or just right then they will hurt.

Joe, we had long merge collectors on our car at the beginning of the season (our headers are 1 7/8 tubes which I believe to be too big for our application). We switched to a smaller, inexpensive edelbrock merge collector from summit, and it picked up the ET and MPH. I also searched these forums many times to read everyone's opinion on the subject and couldn't find a solid yes or no.

There is no definitive answer to this question. Whether or not you can gain from a merge collector depends on a large number of factors, each combination is as individual as the person who owns it. It is impossible to say for certain if merge collectors will help a combination without knowing nearly every individual part involved in the combination. And then if you change one or more of those parts, you start all over again.
