Re: Merge collectors? When I was considering adding these to my long tubes, I was looking at Dynatech parts:

Rummage around in the Drag Racing section and you'll find some high dollar collectors.

Re: Merge collectors? Are those things really worth that $$$ when you can get some good Hooker 1.75"-3" (?merged?) collectors from Jeg's for $75.99 a PAIR? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Re: Merge collectors? The Hooker merge collectors I saw there ranged from like $140 to $170 and those were slip ons:

I'm thinking the collectors you found were just ho-hum collectors. A true merge collector is more expensive due to the more complex work required to build it. Imagine if you wanted one in a flavor of stainless.
Worth it? Only if you're building an all out set of headers and don't like leaving power on the table.

Re: Merge collectors? This page from Burns has some nice info.
Just take a look around and note some pricing <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Those are straight collectors.
