Exhaust collector cad work needed.
Folks, I'm currently having trouble getting my head around how each individual pipe is shaped (fish mouthed) in a 4-1 merge collector.
I was thinking, would anyone with CAD knowledge be able to draw one up then seperate the pipes or does anyone have a pic of a single cut pipe.
If sizes were needed how does 1 3/4" or 44.5mm tube with a 15deg angle into the collector, as thie size pipe could be brought ready bent.
This info could be useful to quite a few people, so thanks wouldn't only be mine.

Thanks for that Claire, I kinda know the theory, it's just getting my head around the shapes without going through £60 of steel tubing
I'd tack it together and get the coded welders on camp to finish the work.

I can stick it together for you in Solidworks (might need to give me till Tuesday/Wednesday).
Just let me know exactly what angles you want the 4 pipes coming in at, and the OD/ID (so I put the right thickness in) of pipe.

I have cobbled together a quick model in Catia - I've saved the individual runner as an .igs file, and also the assembly (four of them together)
as another .igs file for reference. I have also attached the .CATPart and .CATProduct, just in case you are able to open those - the operations I used
to make the models are exactly the same as you use in real life - two "flat" cuts up the sides, then one cut across the top.
(how do I attach the zip file?!?)
(subsequently emailed the zip file. This site needs to allow attachments within the forum!)
