With a reverse cone the collector starts to look like a 2 stroke expansion chamber. Same theory right?

good article, but this was with no exhaust. So, I think the real world might be less exciting. $600 for collectors only? They sure are pretty.

Hey Guys, I thought I might let you know that we're now offering header systems for the 2007 and up full size GM trucks. Like all ARH systems, these will all have merge collectors standard. Look for a new thread with pics sometime today. If any of you have questions please contact me directly at 631-608-1986. Thanks.

Nick

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_laval_nozzle

The design is called a De Laval Nozzle.
It's used on rockets to help increase the force of exhaust flow.
