Those look alot easier than turbo collectors.

If your going the thinwall rout, just buy a stamped collector, looks almost identical to what you have pictured, just no seams.

Why not just use a merg collector with a shallow angle.

you could draw them flat like in auto-cad and then get them formed as well

They don't perform anywhere near a true merge collector.

Many cheap headers for common V8 applications use these formed or stamped collectors. Compare to true merge collectors, there is no comparison.
