Default QTP 1 7/8 headers

I have a chance to pick up a set of QTP 1 7/8 primary headers and x-pipe true duals for a good price. my question is will these be to big for my setup which will be bolt ons and a magic stick and a nice shot of nitrous. maybe a procharger down the road.. I'm getting the setup for less than i would be paying for pacesetters and new true duals.

Nope.

Jump on'em, boy! Yeah, you'll lose a tad down low, but then stock LS1s don't really wake up till 4000 rpm or so, so you really won't be using the down low range unless you're cruising around, and there's plenty of power available for that.

Plus, you'll get better results when you hit tha NAAAAAWWWWZZZZZ(don't ask why I did that).

Yes you can still use them, the 1 3/4" might still be more ideal in your application but you won't really lose anything from the bigger tubes.
I have the 1 3/4" on my bolt on car, great headers.
