Looks bigger than 1.5" to me. Header primaries are usually bigger than 1.5". Looks like 2" pipe, and honestly, if the cars mostly stock, I doubt you see any improvement with a larger pipe in its place. Now if you go long tubes, ORY, etc., I could see some gain. What you're probably seeing is 2" pipe thats been bent and crushed, so it looks smaller in the bend.

When I first bought my '94Z (it's gone now) it also had some Midas special exhaust work where the catback had been replaced w/ 2" pipe and some crapass muffler. On top of that it had some H rated tires. Needless to say I bought an air intake and catback and it was quite the SOTP difference.

Looks like a 2" or 2.5" tube. Just the press bend might be 1.5"

Well it hooked up great! I was able to leave pretty hard in 1st gear when most cars would spin, then it would pull 1st to 60mph!
