Hey guys , im building my hot pipe and my merger looks like a T / Y .. I want to redo the whole hot side using schedule 10 stainless now. I want to get your opinion in using that T fitting in the picture as a merger . Do you think it would work? I'm asking because it is exactly a T and I know a Y has better flow characteristics but not sure if it would affect anything . Thanks in advance
Like they said build a support bracket. Unless the entire thing was schedule 10 minimum and close to the engine, not hanging as a lever arm and cyclically fatiguing until it cracks, then I would always build a support bracket.
I used a merger like your's in your upper pic and it works great . this one is cheap jegs tubing and has held up good at 20 psi running 9.40s on a 5.3 on3 78/75 setup.
