How much horsepower will I lose in the switch from the 3" Cobrasticks to the 3" Cobrapacs? In your opinion, do you think the merge collectors are worth the trouble? If so, how much gain do you think they'll actually provide? Figure a tad over 600 horsepower capability as a base line.

Dave,

Not that you're asking me, but I'll interject anyways. For the money, you can't beat the cost of the Megs' merge collector kit from Cone Engineering. I wondered how to get a slip on merge collector to work, and experimenting with a $300+ each collector not knowing if it would look or work well made me sick to even think about trying it. The megs venturi merge collector kit was less than a 1/3 of the cost and came out looking, in my mind, better than a Dynatech or Kooks. You can trim the divergent side of the collector to butt weld smoothly to the cobra pack muffler, or transition it internally.
