Default Kooks 1 7/8.....help me!

So I am thinking about getting headers and I found a pretty good deal! The only problem is that I have a almost stock 2000 WS6 (just a 346 c.i.) and the headers are kooks 1 7/8 not 1 3/4. What are the good things/bad things about this size?

i wish i had my 1 7/8" Kook's back

I just got a set of Jet Hot 1 3/4" headers. Don't think they'll be up to snuff on my setup.

There is a post in the Drag racing section where "SUX2BU" did a dyno comparison between the pacesetter LT's at 1 3/4" and the Kook 1 7/8" headers. Should look that up for some comparisons on a full bolt on vehicle.

I'll trade you my Jet Hot's that are coated

Well if I get them I might be interested in a trade for those jet hot + some cash of course.

If you decide they're too big for your application, how about letting me get these from you or possibly from who you're buying them from. I'm not trying to buy they out from under you or anything, I'd just like an opportunity if you decide not to use them. Are they the race-only???

Send a PM to Speed Engineering, not sure their 'tech handle, but you can find a thread by them in the sponsor section easily. They've cut me some awesome deals before.

I've bought FAST 90/90, tons of suspension, and the Kooks headers/ORY from them.

They will be fine, and personally anyone who claims they are too big for a bolt on car is talking out of there **** as you aren't maxing out the engine in the first place so you'll have nothing too loose.

If you don't plan on going past bolt ons from what I get from people on here you are just wasting your money. The again if you go with a power adder/stroker in the future its a good plan to get 1 7/8.
