Can use some help - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

New to the forum and the Camaro family. Thinking of upgrading full exhaust system on my 2011 2ss. Been looking around and I think the Stainless Works headers and exhaust look good. Any thoughts? Is there a big difference between the 2" and 1 7/8" headers, other than 1/8".

Thanks

yes, the stainless works are great headers. cant go wrong with that choice. go with the 1 7/8 headers. thats what all the performance shops recommend.

Jannetty Racing did a test comparing the the different size American Racing headers. The 2" had very similair result to the 1 7/8 but had some gains over 5500 RPM. I went with the 2" ARH because I have the blower and when you're spending that much money whats another $100?

My general recommendation is for forced induction or track build then go with the 2 inch, for all others 1 7/8. That being said, when it comes to our Stainless Works customers, you don't pay more for the extra 1/8 inch so it is a coin flip. They produce almost identical gains up to about 5500 RPM where the 2 inchers begin to pull ahead. Feel free to hit me up if you have any questions. That is what I'm here for.
