Question for all of the Dust Collection experts

We got a steal of a 5 hp Delta cyclone from a school shop auction. Big upgrade over our 2 hp grizzly we use 4” flex hose with. At the school I was able to get all of the 8” dust collection piping. It is very heavy gauge metal. It is enough to duct our entire shop but I do not have any Wye fittings. I am not sure what to use. I have looked at the ventilation Wyes at Home Depot that are 8”x8”x8”. They feel a little light weight but still feel stiff enough. So I wonder if a 5 hp cyclone will suck those Wyes flat or not.

Not sure if it matters, but I plan to leave our DC in a shed area and it will not have any filter since no person will be in the shed with the DC when it runs. I am not sure, but I think the DC is rated at 2000 cfm, I could be wrong though as I cannot remember.
