ISO affordable merge for headers need 4 x 1 5/8" to single 2.5" for some turbo headers
something like this
but something like $25 each is my budget, and i would prefer a shorter one.. just the 'cone' area is all i need.
thanks, this is for my truck.

nah I won't lock it due to our sponsors not listing them for sale on their webpages. If it's something that a sponsor carries and would compete with them directly...then i'd lock it. The fuel rails are something that most of our sponsors carry so its a conflict of interest....although I didn't lock that thread
Summit racing huh? I still use them a lot, jegs too.

If I were "good" that'd be a different story though.
of course there is something to be said about the value of your time as well though. I'm sure with enough patience and the ability to scrap a few that I could make them, but then there's that material cost and my time, like I mentioned.

If you think about what your doing then you shouldn't have waste materials. Its not hard to cut a collector when you think about it.Sure your time is worth something if you could have been making money during that time. I guess it comes out to about $50-75 if you took off work 1.5 hours early to make two collectors.
I think theres something to be said about the advantage of having a good collector and using the right length/diameter primarys to take advantages of the exhaust back pulses. Alot of people with turbos have the opinion that you can just turn up the boost and make up for poorly designed headers though
I guess it works to a point. Should be fine for the hp MM is looking to make. Last edited by 69vette; Mar 28, 2008 at 08:20 PM.

It took me about 30 minutes to cut 4 tubes and about 10 minutes to tig them the first time I ever fabbed a collector If you think about what your doing then you shouldn't have waste materials. Its not hard to cut a collector when you think about it.

if factory cast manifolds can make 1500horse then a shitty home made set of actual headers should do my truck fine
the truck had a turbo, just getting a bigger one attached to this now
