Nice project. Smart move on the flattened collector for ground clearance plus I never cared for an exhaust system "exposed" when viewing from a short distance.
Question- Dia. and length of your headers (huge) Do you feel any velocity may be lost when its controlling the speed of the exhaust pulse. Now assuming the tube length is timing the pulse to match with the cams certain RPM range, is there any down play with the flattened collector to the pulses scavenging versus a full or more rounded collector. I dont think there is but for my own knowledge Im curious.
