Having collectors built This place has done aircraft exhaust for years, branching into automotive.
http://stainlessheaders.com
After a good conversation with the guy (Chris) I sent them a couple CAD drawings and these renderings:
Say's no problem. 1 3/4" primary to 3" merge into T4. All out of 321 stainless. Couple of weeks.

AutoCAD for the geometry then SurfCAM for the surfaces. Seriously about a half hour total. Their regular price is $250.00 (Burn's are $320.00.) per normal merge collector (a bargain) and all they use is 321. Dont know how much for a setup like this.They want to use pics of my motor so they cut me a deal on the package. I supplied the T4 flanges. Check out their work on the web site above. Chris is a real nice guy to talk to.

I have'nt bought components from cooks, stahl or burns in ages....
Their skill, QC and custom service is awesome... We have alot of talent up here... I am lucky to have places like them and QA1 a stones throw away.
Are you going with a double slip primary attachment?

Thats pretty slick! Id like to see pictures after its all done.
Ive used AutoCAD for 10 years. We recently switched to Solidworks where I work at and its been like a revolution in CAD. LMAO Like learning to use my left hand when Im right handed. Different but once you get the hang of it, VERY useful

IMHO Construction techniques and design have alot more to do with it than the wall thickness alone...
I am sold on double slip joints..
