4-2-1 collector ??????????? I'm trying to configure an exhaust that's a little different the the normal and I know most people have seen this- <img src="http://www.burnsstainless.com/Xdesign/4-2-1_wcutaway.jpg" alt=" - " /> But my question is that to run this configuration the O2 sensor is going to be further away from the engine than normal. Is that going to cause any problems with the tune? Or since the velocity should be greater the added distance won't matter?

Re: 4-2-1 collector ??????????? You would be better off putting the O2 in the header primary. Putting it to far away would cause code HO2S, insufficient O2 sensor heater circuit. Also you will have terrible ground clearance with those mongo collectors.

Re: 4-2-1 collector ??????????? That is commonly known as a "tri-y." Lot of cup cars use them now with large radius mandrel bent tubing. They create unreal lowend torque with out sacraficing topend. Good choice, but expensive. Those you see are worth about 6 grand. Pro-Fabrication out of Charlotte charges about 7k a set now <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />
Re: 4-2-1 collector ??????????? BTW, O2 placement is not a problem, Put it in the collector, not the primary.
