we were unloading my friends car yesterday, and his merge collectors are catching at the end of his beavertail. One idea is to remove the collectors and put them in a vise, making them oval to gain clearance. The question is, how much will this hurt their performance?
It may be ugly, but it sure is slow.

we got a set of Rino ramps, and that just moved the problem from the lip (where the ramps clip on) to the break at the beavertail.
It may be ugly, but it sure is slow.

I used to crank the front of my trailer up higher. then I bought a set of 7' ramps. problem solved. I don't think oval collectors would hurt, as they would still have the same area.

I've used two short pieces (2ft long)of 2x6 to lay on the trailer so the front tires go up when the exhaust is crossing the beavertail  I ended up nailing them to one of the trailers that had a wood floor, bolts work on metal floors

I don't think oval collectors would hurt, as they would still have the same area. Nope. Same perimiter but not same area. For any given perimeter a circle has a larger area than any other shape.
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.
