I have been looking around for collectors, and I can find a ton, but I haven't found any for a divided manifolds. I have made my own manifold before, but never a divided. I am curious to see what you guys are doing for your collectors. Also what processes you guys find to work best for you. Thanks!

 

measure the opening of each port to figure how far spread they need to be, create the angle your comfortable with, and weld it up

 

I can jump in and figure that much out, but I was hoping for a "I like to use _* angle for a ramhorn, and if I have the space I tweak it" type of response.

 

I would suggest not making a ramhorn divided, if that's what you're asking lol.

 

No! LOL! I was just using it as an example.

 

I think I did a 13* collector split with like a 10* offset on my manifold. Did it so long ago at this point I don't remember.



Wasn't super easy getting in between on it but I managed. Honestly, easiest collector I ever built.

 

On the collector, the one side is easy, I can see that. The other side now, that looks like it'll be a bit more technical. Are you welding it from the bottom of the flange? If not, how are you managing to get the seam welded down in there without arcing to the side of one of the walls first?

 

Made my own divided T4 collector. I used 15* for each divided side. Then just used a belt sander for the insides.

 

Yes, I welded the middle from inside of the flange. You can fill it but it doesn't really work that well if the angle is too narrow.

 

I was thinking the same thing. Thanks for the advise!

 

Ron @ RLD helped a brother out. At the price I got it, it was way more economical to just buy it. I'll be doing the same for all collectors now. If nothing else, just the saw blades, and time saved will be more than worth it! Thanks Ron!
