I am looking into purchasing a set of headers and i wanted to know how much would i really lose going to 1 7/8? I have read a couple articles in a magazine stating to go with the 1 7/8...yet this forum seems to swing toward the 1 3/4...why? Supposedly on the dyno i read from the magazines the 7/8's edged out the 3/4's in everything above i wanna say 4k. While under the 4k curve it was comparable. Thank you for any and all input.

our car does require some backpressure on the exhaust. The Primaries size depends on your displacement or if you have a power booster. 1-3/4 is better for the stock displacement, but if you add a supercharger or stroker, or even throw in a bigger engine like the LSX block the 1-7/8's give you a better power. Some guys even say HP range tells you which headers to get, and 1-7/8's should be saved for 600+ HP.

Not sure what the loss is but I have 1-7/8 on my bolt on car but I plan to drop a stroker in it in the future so I went with the bigger headers now instead of having to pay 1300 bucks twice for the same thing!

1 7/8 is really only needed when you start pushing big hp numbers or running a high displacement motor or some type of power booster.

1 3/4 will be more than enough for most people on here unless you have plans to go with a larger motor in the future or start pushing over 550hp
