Angry pfft... what should i do now?

hi there guys.. i bought a 1 3/4 catted from ARH like a month ago.. havent installed it yet.. anyways.. i thought that my last upgrades was going to be these headers.. after i recieved them.. i decided that i wanted to get a head/cam package.. 230/242.. but what should i do with the headers!? no one is buying it i had it for sale from 2 weeks now.. im still waiting for the head to arrive.. so is it ok if i install the 1 3/4? is there a huge difference in power.... and will i have any backpressure or heat at all...


best regards

Install them. The difference between 1 3/4 and 1 7/8 is negligible. You will not have heat or backpressure problems at all.

If you are trying to pinch every single hp out then yah, but your not. You will prob make a lil more bottom with the 1 3/4 over the 1 7/8, top end won't be much diff... Put them on and stop worrying.. Your butt meter prob isn't going to know

Your engine will be making more power with the cam and higher flowing heads, so the 1 7/8ths will "flow more" so to say than the 1 3/4ths would.

That right?
