Slip-on merge collector. I have been looking at the edelbrock victor series race headers with slip on merge collectors and I just have on question about it. When they say slip on merge collector does the merge collector slip onto the primaries or is there a separate piece that slips onto the merge collector after the header?

It slips onto the primaries, I've never been a fond of them. You've got 4 tubes per side that would just LOVE to have nasty little leaks. Race cars running them isn't a big deal, because they don't give a sheet about leaks. Driving down the highway with that tap tap tap will make you want to run off the road though.
Slip on collectors, are a must on some applications. My friends steering stem on his '96 Cobra runs between the #3 and #5 primaries, header is in 2 pieces. F-cars are easy, I have never seen the purpose of running slip-ons with them.

The reason I want to go with these is they are cheaper than qtps and kooks, made by a machine, not hand made like the others, and just look like a better header that would make more power, even if it is only 5hp. Plus, how hard could it be to weld collectors?
