Mob Spawner Help.

I have recently made a wither skeleton farm using iron spikes and the fact that there 3 blocks tall. It follows a design using a tier 5 soul cage and a 2 block opening where they see you and chase after you, but hit spikes on the 3rd block up, when they die, hoppers below those spikes collect items and move them all to one hopper on the left that im trying to get to use a buildcraft diamond pipe to sort out stuff like the broken stone swords, but I cannot get the hoppers to put the items into the pipe to be sorted, can anyone help me with a solution? will post screen shots if needed thanks.

Hoppers don't automatically push to pipes. If you're using BC pipes, stick an Autarchic Gate on it. With TE itemducts, apply a redstone signal or a Pneumatic Servo and make sure the pipe is wrenched to pull mode (with the red arrow).

You can use vacuum hoppers which will connect and export into pipes. Never really tried connecting a hopper to a BC pipe though. Alternatively, you can have the hopper into a chest, and a pipe extracting stuff from the chest whereupon there's an intersection to split items off.

Don't have the mobs run to you just have them drop past spikes. If you have a problem with them firing from the fall and not the spikes use a layer of water.

It might not be prudent to set a diamond pipe to the stone swords, in the case that the diamond pipe does not ignore damage values, You'll have to pump from the hopper as though it was a chest, in order to get items from it.
