Vibrant 4-1 SS Merge Collector (2in Inlet Slipover ID 3-1/2in Merge Outlet OD)
Vibrant Performance 4-1 Merge Collectors feature a single slip design ideal for naturally aspirated applications, constructed from precise cut mandrel-bent 304 stainless steel tubing with high-quality TIG welded construction. The expanded inlet on this Vibrant 10309 model is designed to slip over 2" OD piping for a secure, leak-free fit, while the 3-1/2" merge outlet OD provides smooth exhaust flow transition. Sold individually, this collector merges four 2" inlets into a single 3-1/2" outlet, optimizing exhaust scavenging and velocity for improved horsepower and torque in custom header builds. Perfect for high-performance naturally aspirated or mild boosted setups where precise merge geometry and stainless durability are critical. TIG welds ensure strength and clean appearance under the hood or chassis.
