Has anyone ever opened up an exhaust collector?

This has nothing to do with the question but it's cool.

Just curious to know how restrictive, if at all, they are.

I thought I saw a cutaway of it and recall a simple reverse flow baffle design.

Not sure about how restrictive it is, but I also think the output baffle shrank slightly in diameter in the later models.

I looked inside mine when I had it off. As I remember, There was stanchions going from top to bottom, I assume there for making it crush resistant.

I need to work on my comprehension skills.  You said collector.  I described the muffler design.

I've painted my collector box a few times.  From what I recall, it's just a 4 into 1 collector with a dual outlet.

The reason I'm curious is because of the weight. If was just a 4 into 2 splitter it would be much lighter.

The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.
