I have a set of hooker headers 1 5/8 with 360-1 head planning on a new set 1 7/8 in the future I was considering cutting off the 3 in collector and replacing it with 3 1/2 wondering if that would help or hurt the scavenging

I didn't change the collector. TTI Had 3.5" Collector. I just added 18" 3.5" extension. Really happy with the pick up.

I thought I remembered years ago when racers ran collector extensions that they used to say cut it off where you see it making a ring on the collector ? I believe these were 24" collectors but I never tried it. Ron
