QTP 1 7/8" To big?
QTP 1 7/8" To big? I have a Procharged 00 SS with 6psi. I want to go to 9 psi and do all the bolt ons i found a good deal for 1 7/8" primary non hvmc headers. Question is are they to big for me using stock heads or will they work good? I know usually the bigger the primary the more hp and u loose some torque but anyone out there running straight 1 7/8"ers? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes I'd get 1 7/8'' for you. 1 3/4'' is mainly for stock displacement h/c/i bolt on type cars. Strokers and power adders I'd opt for the 1 7/8''. Hope this helps... Kooks has a little gauge as well on what size to use for your application, forgot which site it was. Contacting the header company would also be an option.
Anyone else have an opinion? Im getting a 50/50 here. Somone push me the rite way. I plan to eventually get more power. nomore then 600rwhp tho. To big or ok. Should i stick out and get 1 3/4"'s.
if its a good deal i would defintily pick up the non-hvmc for a procharged car. The high velocity merge collector really wouldnt help you anyways because you need flow and not scavenging.

Kooks 1-7/8's, not even sure if QTP makes their 1-7/8's anymore, you might want to check. My Kooks were kind of a pain to put in (jackup motor, grind k-member), but they fit AWESOME and their y-pipes are second to none. I have the 3" to 4" ORY pipe, expect a writeup w/ pics later on in the week.
