This took a long time to make correctly. Me and my buddy spent some time to make this true "merge collector" not some junker collector like every one else makes. I can make these for other people if you want, but it will cost a decent amount but will make the difference in your manifold. This is 304 stainless scheg 10 1 1/2 pipe size.



send me an email if you would like on... i will get a price later if anyone is intrested.

looks ok. but not worth a decent amount of money IMO, sorry.

 

i would like to see you make a better one that will flow more than mine will...

 

how much is it

so if you dont like a movie actor , that means you can act better? i dont have to make one better to know ive seen better . it looks good , but im sayin it shouldnt cost a "decient amount" as you say.

 

what about the wire that burned through...does that help flow?

 

i like how the armorall in the back is more in focus

 

why the hell is everyone so critical. if you dont have constructive critictism or somthing concerning this then just dont reply. I didn't know we had so many keyboard warriors

 

it aint even like that . you didnt say heres my shot at a collector , please critique. no you said if you want one i can fab you one at a decent price.....i guess you just came off pretty cocky to me.....im not tryin to be a "keyboard warrier . just givin my opinion.

 

well you guys didnt have to be an *** hole about it... this is my first one... and i think it is damn good because everyone i have seen around my area have been junk collectors and i havnt not seen many people use a true merge collector so please give me criticism.

 

yeah dude, you came off pretty cocky. A cocky attitude will kill the product pretty quick even if the quality is high, which it it isn't in this case.
The design is great, but you could improve on your weld, and maybe your picture taking skills.

 

At least it looks better than this one... https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1286878
Or this one.... https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=992397
they arnt even true mrege collecters

but look at how they describe their work . one greatly wants imput on how to make it beter . and the other knows its crap and selling it cheap. see what i mean&gt;

 

well i want criticism i asked already. you just wont leave this alone. I know it isnt perfect and i welded it with a mig. the ones i will be selling will be seamless and they will be tiged so when i get the next one done i will post it up

 

shizam! its what you get for calling our collectors shitty. You far underestimated the talent that the people on this site posess.

A mig will weld this fine, just need a little more practice.

And your fab work is awesome, very very nice collector.

 

what did you use to bend the pipe?

 

dood, after people tell you your comming off like an ***.. you STILL come off like an ***. You just killed your rep, and haven't even sold a single thing. Good job

 

I'm curious how you would now go about welding the header runners to this collector?

Looks like the inlet pipes are pretty darn close together, I'm thought of building myself a merge collector and this one looks great but never understood how I would weld that onto the runners..

 

just a question but how is this collector better than the ones you pointed out as being bad? it looks like you just bent the pipe, the collector outlet appears to be the same size, so how is this different or better?

thanks!

 

Meh, If one was going to be so critical about a merge collector why not just skip right to the burns stainless ones.. why put that much effort into a 'pipe' manifolds collector? Why spend a 'decent amount of money' on a collector that's migged together by an amature welder?

The only way I'd see this as worth anything is if you did it yourself just for fun.

Also, lets see how your true merge collector fits the flange.. since it's not a junker like everyone else makes.

 

whats so spectacular about it? the mig welding? i dont understand...

i agree... try not to come off like a cocky ***** next time

 

My constructive criticism:

The welding is terrible. My welding is by no means professional but I am also not touting my products as being superior to everyone else's. That thing will crack after a couple heat cycles.

Also, about the design. How is anybody going to attach this to a manifold? There isn't room to weld on the interior of the pipe where the collector comes together.

Would I pay anything for this collector? Personally, no.

I used a mandral bender to bend the pipes. If you bend them the collector becomes a merge collector and will flow better because you wont have a giant pocket of turbulence where the pipes meet. I really dont care if i sell any. I was just trying to help some people out because a collector is hard to make. Ill post up the new one when i get it finished. Im sorry i came off cocky.
