Default Header collectors

May not be the right section but reading over the latest sema magazine, Cone Engineering has some nice collectors that are pretty reasonably priced for those who fabricate headers...

I wish they were available when I made my headers, would have saved me some time and probably a few dollars.

YOu guys been putting merge spikes inside the collectors or just using the turbo star?I've seen them both ways but i think the star works fine for a turbo setup dont you?

Thanks for the link. I know in NA performance collectors are a huge thing. In a turbo application does it matter as much?

SR71,
They aren't much more than standard formed collectors. I think I paid 40 or so for mine and the ms ones are just over 100. Mine didn't come with the center piece nor are they merge collectors.

I was refering to merge collectors.Not the 4-1's you linked.So you just welded a plate in the center like the turbo stars are?I know if you guys are going to install the spike than you need to use solid ones.The hollow ones will crack over time.
