Re: Primary pipe length formula

It is often said that merge collectors and tapered secondaries make more power. Here we compare the tapered secondary that starts at 2" and increases to 4", with a straight secondary that is 4" allong the entire length.

Here the straight duct wins. It should be noted that the code does not take into account the difference in flow losses between the tapered and striaght ducts.
