Default Why doesnt this work....

I am by far not a noob---I have always wondered why you need a collector on a header? I always thought it would be cool lookin to have "race exhaust" that was 4 pipes that were just the primaries extended all the way to the back of the car as 4 individual tubes. Is there some property that a collector provides that makes power? is it for 02 sensors?


probably a dumb question but I had to ask

Yup, it's trying to wire the 4 O2 sensors to get an average reading to the ECU, that has stopped anyone from doing that.
