Default Same header for LS7 or C5R head?

Considering a slight deviation in my project and was curious if the same header will work for either head? Could wait to call Kooks and/or ARH on Monday but thought I would check here first...TIA

I believe they are the same. You'll want at least 1 7/8 - specially for the C5R heads. Those things are HUGE!

Thanks Kevin...I thought they were, but was curious in making sure I didn't need anything else 'special' for my application. Shawn was thinking stepped, maybe a full 2" !! No one home at Kooks today and ARH wasn't sure...

Waiting for Shawn to buzz me back but will call him Monday if I don't hear from him sooner as he's responsible for this project redirect

I think for the C5R heads the stepped or 2 inch are the way to go.

The heads we are using will take a std flange ls header. should be no differences. I'm not sure on the actual reccomended size yet. I will let you know in the near future.
