    I didn't see 1.375 in their catalogs

    that airplane place has it pretty cheap. I think I'll wait until the flange and collector get here and maybe tack weld some shat on there to position them where they need to be so I can draw it up and figure out exactly what kind of bends I need

    maybe some pvc pipe

    toilet paper rolls and ductape.

    Might have to do some research to see if you could make one of the applications fit but there are several with 1 3/8" primaries.

    I'll check it out. I've got it setup so all I need is measurements and its ready to cut.

    this place looks cheap. 4 ubends will cover the entire thing if it ends up being close to the model. http://www.magnumforceracing.com/ubend.asp

    what are you planning on for a collector. can you use the comp to make your templates to cut a merge collector. if you do I would weld it for you if you give me the templates.

    have u ever priced that stuff, I would have to fawk up a lot of tubing to justify the price(one the guys on turbomustangs was showing them off and he told the pricing breakdown). maybe if I was building headers every day , or if I knew a mandrel bending place that could make all the primaries one piece they would pay off

    I bought the merge collector from great plains. Its sitting on my desk right now.

    coneng.com has more sizes and larger selection. there tubing selection is better with a smaller radius, but more expensive.



    I was going to cut a slot in a hose clamp for my tack clamp.

    u sure its a merge and not just a pressed collector

    http://www.stans-headers.com/parts.htm this is stamped collector

    http://www.burnsstainless.com/MergeC...into1base.html this is a merge

    its stamped, starts with a 1.75 outlet, cut to length for whatever exhaust flange size you want.

    All the miata fags say to run 2.5, I'm thinking 2.25. The primaries are only 1.375 16g. What do you think?

    I could probably draw a template. How much of a difference is there in the way a merge collector functions vs a stampe? looks like mock up would be easier with a merge.
