Different Collector For Stainless Works Headers???
I'm currently running Stainless Works long tube headers. The collector size is only 2.5 inches. I know it's a restriction at this point with the mods in my signature. Would it be possible to cut the collector off and put on a different, larger, collector. Something like the Flowmaster Tri-y collector? Or am I better off just buying larger headers?

If you did run the Flowmaster Scavenger collector it isn't made of stainless steel. I have a better solution if you don't want to sell the headers. Give me a minute and I will Draw something up for you and post it. It's what I did to my Mac headers back in the day and it made a BIG improvement on my set up.

Here is what I did. Cut the collector at 2-3/4" Then Weld a 3" pipe in as a collector. It will overlap a little. The extra 1/8" lip that hangs down will act as an anti reversion / scavenger collector. This worked very well for me when I did it on my Mac Headers back in the day. Please excuse the crude drawing but I think you can see what I'm talking about. Where the dotted line is you would cut the collector there.

Burns is nice but very pricey. That's why I went with the Flowmaster tri-y set up on my car instead of paying $700 for their collectors haha. At that point it would be more economical to just sell the original set and buy the proper set with 3" collectors.

It would be difficult to do with them still on the vehicle. Plus the 1-7/8" headers will outshine a modified version of your current headers anyways. Just give me a call whenever your ready to pull that trigger. I'd be more than happy to set you up with those.
