?? I'm not that bad at visualization, and I'm pretty sure if you stretch #1,2 out it's not going to go past the head like yours. You probably should have had someone with the right tools weld up your manifold, I'd be scared to grind the welds down to make it 'pretty'. Don't quit your day job to fabricate just yet. I've got a cheap welder as well... holds just fine, but lots of funny comments arose from the welds. I feel it's my duty to pass that on. The collector may not be the best, but it is still radiused to match the pipes, and it looks short... I've used manifolds with similar collector before and it worked surprisngly well in comparison to everything from crappy log to that more like my current mani. It may not be the 'best' but I don't know if you could scientifically quantify it to being A LOT like you figure. If only it were easy as removing 1mm or 2 from a manifold to add 50hp.JWMotorsports wrote:Your runners aren't much shorter than mine after you stretch them out.
