Re: Trying Merge Collectors
Ok I have been told bye a reputable Header Mfg that they should be shortened to take full advantage of the collector and I just didn't know how much but thank you for the response - John DID YOU find an improvement and if so immediately or did you make other changes as well - Thanks Bob

Re: Trying Merge Collectors
I’d recommend calling Mark Lelchook of Performance Welding. Based on your combination and current header he can get you pretty close. Highly recommend buying the collectors from him, they are a pure work of art.
