I bought some Kooks 1 7/8" headers. When I measured the primary tube diameter, it checked 1 7/8" on the outside dia. I would think it should be 1 7/8" inside dia. Does anyone know how Kooks or other companies measure primary size?

You are only partially correct – tubing is measured in O.D. only up to 12”; from that point on it is measured in I.D.

How bout this one, A/C men use OD for copper tubing/pipe, while plumbers use ID for the same stuff.

[QUOTE=TheBlurLS1]We call that PIPE not tubing QUOTE]
You obviously haven't worked with large diameter tubing.
I do know the difference between pipe and tubing.
Like I said before, tubing is classified by I.D. above 12".
