Exhaust Collector Discussion

[HOYS]

Cutting those pipes would be awful hard.

I'd do some small scale testing on that design well before trying to cut that out of some steel tubing, building a test rig to accurately see what's going on will be a major undertaking though.

True merge 3-1 will naturally create a "vortex". I don't know if over-engineering would benefit here, there's a reason Burns collectors are consistently winning races.

Here are a few teaser diagrams of my new v6 header collectors. When I decide to weld up the turbo headers, currently stuck with the stock logs.

Made in Studio Max. The idea is no open turbulant area in the center and each pipe directs its exhaust pulse at a slight offset. This means the previous pulse will be less of a restriction and a vortex should be created.

i'll take one PM me

I don't know if that is what will happen though unless you have equal length primaries, and even then you want the smoothest transition possible for each pulse to retain its strength. The speed of the exhaust vs the length of the primaries will determine when if ever that vortex could be created.

But enough about him... back to the interesting technical discussion.
