1 7/8" or 2" Headers?
 
I have Hooker 1 3/4" long tubes now and need some new ones. What size and what name brand? 443 rwhp 425 rwtq . Tell me which ones you would do?
Thanks.

IMO the 1-3/4 are plenty for your set up... no til you start passing the 550+ mark is where the ristrictions can but not always occur... and i would do a stepped header from 1-7/8" to 2" if infact you do want to get bigger headers

I agree with the stepped headers, if you want to go with such a large prime.. Also the 1 3/4 primes are ok for that kind of HP...

werd, 1 3/4 primaries is plenty big for you, i could see you complaining if you were running 1 5/8 dynatechs or something. about 600hp is when you need 1 7/8. and you definetely dont need 2" primaries

Id go with ARH 1 7/8"

Headers started rusting and leaking. I have heard that the L92 heads like big exhaust primaries due to low CFM numbers (190 cfm's @ .600" lift)? Seeing what you guys think? and recommend?

I agree...this is for the 408 stroker in your sig right? Should be good for those cubes and leaves you some room to grow too

Yes for 408 stroker. Who's headers do you like?

ARH is the only people who offer a 1 7/8 header for the trucks. but kooks f bod headers are supposed to fit.. If your looking for headers only, decide to got for 1 3/4 hit me up, I have some nice Stainless Works..

1 3/4 is for pussies
