Header ? I got a set of turbo headers which are SS 1 3/4" x 3" for my twin 427 build but the merge collector necks down to about 2 1/2" then to 3" is that going to cause any restrictions i should worry about?

Correct they are Jardines these are a second set they made for me the first set were decent in quality but not perfect so they made a second set which are nice but have the funny collector the other set had a straight 3" butt type VS the 2.5-3" slip. The other set is still very usable just need cleaned up a little but they do tuck up tighter to the engine that's why i choose them!

Been talking with Jardine about the collector and he says that they will flow better than a straight 3" kinda have my doubts though.

There was a video on youtube showing a simple test with a tapered merge collector. It basically assists scavenging much better than a straight tube collector. Cant find it though.
But this shows a little of what a good merge collector alone can do
edit... this is it. The fact turbo headers are under pressure doesnt matter, same rules apply.
