As far as shape with the transition from collectors (round) into a sort of "D" section, all I can find on the subject, technically, says to have the "D" section at least larger than the round section, in an ideal world of course.

My math shows this:

3.5" round = an area of 9.62 sq inches

2.25" x 5" "D" = approx 9.06 sq inches (it's not a perfect semi-circle D shape as you can see in the pics)

So, essentially, it's close enough by my estimation.

If anyone sees my math wrong, please share your thoughts.
