The one-piece merge collector is CAD-designed and 3D printed in stainless steel for maximum flow, paired with mandrel-bent tubing and a CNC-machined billet head flange. Stainless steel is used throughout for corrosion resistance and to handle sustained exhaust gas temperatures without scaling or cracking over time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Mandrel-Bent Tubing, Routed to Flow<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">The kit uses 42.4mm x 2mm wall thickness stainless steel tubing throughout, combining short-radius and long-radius mandrel bends across the runners. Each bend was chosen for where it sits in the run \u2014 short-radius bends where space is tight, long-radius bends where the runner has room to sweep gently \u2014 routing all five runners cleanly into the merge collector without unnecessary flow disruption.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong>One-Piece 3D Printed Merge Collector<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">The merge collector is CAD-designed and 3D printed in stainless steel as a single piece \u2014 manufactured together with the collector inlets and the turbine flange, not welded up from separate runners and a bolt-on flange. That means one continuous piece from the point where the runners merge through to the turbine mounting face, with no seams or joints at the merge point to work against flow or become a weak point over time. 3D printing this part specifically is what makes the fully integrated, seamless collector geometry possible \u2014 a shape that would be very difficult to weld together from sheet or tube stock.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong>CNC Billet Head Flange<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">The flange that mounts to the cylinder head is a CNC-machined billet piece, 25mm thick \u2014 a substantial flange, not a thin stamped plate. The transitions between the head&#8217;s exhaust ports and the inner diameter of the manifold&#8217;s pipe bends are precision-machined, so the airflow path stays consistent from the moment it leaves the head, without a step or ledge at the flange face that would otherwise disrupt flow right at the start of the runner.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Single Entry T3<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">This kit uses a single-entry T3 turbine flange, matched to the OM605&#8217;s 5-cylinder layout. All five runners merge into the one-piece collector and feed a single T3 turbine inlet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Materials &amp; Construction<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"[li_&amp;]:mb-0 [li_&amp;]:mt-1 [li_&amp;]:gap-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3 print:block print:space-y-1\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Tubing: 42.4mm x 2mm wall thickness stainless steel, mandrel bent<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Merge collector: 3D printed stainless steel, one-piece construction integrated with collector inlets and turbine flange, CAD-designed for maximum flow<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Head flange: CNC billet stainless steel, 25mm thick, precision-machined port transitions<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Turbine side: Single entry T3<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Consistent, Repeatable Collector Geometry<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Because the merge collector is 3D printed from the same CAD file every time, its geometry \u2014 the merge point, the inlet spacing, the flange face \u2014 is identical from one kit to the next. That&#8217;s a level of consistency that&#8217;s difficult to achieve when a collector is hand-welded from cut and mitered tube sections onto a bolt-on flange, where small variations creep in between units even when built to the same drawing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Fitment<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Built specifically for the 5-cylinder OM605 engine. As with any performance exhaust manifold, supporting components \u2014 turbine housing, downpipe, and gaskets \u2014 need to be matched to your specific build. Gaskets and mounting hardware should be selected to match your engine&#8217;s specific configuration.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Ordering the Right Kit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">This kit is matched specifically to the OM605 engine and its single-entry T3 turbine flange \u2014 if you&#8217;re unsure whether your turbine housing bolts to this flange pattern, reach out to us before ordering so we can confirm fitment against your specific turbo housing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">If you&#8217;re building an OM605 and want a manifold with a properly engineered, seamless collector instead of a hand-welded log manifold, this kit is in stock now and ready to ship immediately upon placing your order.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FMS Motorsport OM605 turbo manifold kit. 42.4x2mm mandrel-bent stainless tubing, 3D printed one-piece collector, CNC billet head flange.
