You have to post the pic.

We just received some "cheaper" pieces from a NorCal place today that supplies S-Car-Go. Good parts and cheaper than Burns... plus they are semi local.

Is there a significant difference between a 4 into 1 system versus two...two into one systems on a Type 4 engine??

Rich,

It just takes more time to assemble. I personally feel the two/two into 1 is the hot ticket, but not by much. It maximizes the amount of scavenge available where the 4 into 1 leaves some on the table.

Is Mueller doing a V8 conversion? I read the article. The merge collector only resulted in a 11hp boost on a 517hp engine. That's a 2% improvement. Could anyone possible feel an 11hp difference on a 517hp engine?

Posted by: Brad Roberts Mar 31 2003, 07:00 PM

No. You cant feel 11hp. You might feel 10lbft of torque though..

Anthony,

Sales are produced these days with "claims" and numbers mixed in with some advertising hype.

What?!?!?

Ya mean those big red fuel rails and the K&N filter kit isn't going to give me the 20HP+ that they said it would?!?!?!
