The collectors on the Stocker need to be replaced and I was wondering if anybody has run any of these high dollar, high velocity collectors. The car is a 360 H/SA car with custom headers. I have heard that these collectors are supposed to pick up some e.t. but I wanted to hear feedback first.

Something like this.http://kooksheaders.com/show.php?pid=443

Merge collectors were worth some HP in my application. They out performed Dwaynes dyno headers and were WAY better than the flowmaser collector mufflers I had on the car before I got the merge collectors.

Every application is different but, if made correctly, yes they are worth something.

All I ever use is merged collectors on my stuff. Well, lets put it this way, they could never hurt anything and are very likely to help.
If you need stainless, I would use this Guy. I have purchased from him before and they were as good as anything else I have recieved. If you need mild steel, post or PM me and I will give you another suggestion.

Have you had a chance to try these yet Fred? Any improvement? They have a little different design than the others I have seen and they are cheaper.
