3 into 1 collector...wtf?

I think I started this in the wrong section so U moved it here. People do many builds in this section and hopefully someone will see this and help.

Im creating this thread because I am a little frustrated. I have been trying to find a 304SS (or any stainless for that matter at this point) 3 into 1 collector, merged or formed, slip on or weld on, with 2" primaries and I cant find anything for under 250.00. I think its a bit ridiculous. I have made them in the past but 3 into 1 collectors are the hardest to make well because the cuts aren't evenly spaced. Anyways...I really want to stay from making my own so I am seeking advise. There has to be someone on this site that has purchased a 3 into 1 SS collector for less than 250.00...and I hope they post on this thread.

Thanks in advance.

Chris

p.s. I already looked at mandrel-bends.com but they only have them up to 1.75" primaries...and that does not work. I have also called Burns, Reid Washborn, SPD...etc etc etc...

Yeah the V6's use them and they are available...just not for anything under 250.00 which is ridiculous...I can find them really cheap in Mild steel...

I called Megs(coneeng.com) and they have a 1.875 SS 3 into 1 that I could use. It is meant to fit around 3 1.875" tubes which is too small for me since I will be using 2" OD tubing but it will but up to 2" tubing so I will just have to go with that and use it but welded instead of over the 3 runners. Its considerably cheap though at ~$50 plus shipping so I am sorta happy.

Does anyone know where I can get one that is meant for 2" runners? I would rather find that, if not I will just purchase the one from Megs.

Thanks.
