Now, with the kind of power you are gonna be putting down, you might want to consider going 2 inch primaries and 3" exhaust.

I don't think it matters if you get Kooks or ARH. They're both high quality headers.

I'd ask your tuner about whether you should get 1 7/8" or 2" primaries. Let him know what your goals are for rwhp and he can advise you better. I thought 1 7/8" headers were good to about 800+ rwhp.

Ask Precision Industries. I have no idea. But it is rather pretty. Actually, I'm glad no one will see it. It will clash with my orange Pfadt subframe and differential bushings.

However, I have the 2.5" exhaust. Not sure about my header collectors. If they are only 2.5 also, it would be expensive to change them now. I'd have to change the whole thing. Headers as well.

I kinda wish I'd have went with 3" exhaust. But ithe collectors are only 2.5 it wouldn't matter.

I have 2.5" exhaust as well. When I bought my Borla exhaust I hadn't thought about going with a forced induction set up. I'm sticking with it because I don't want to drop another $1,200+ on a new exhaust.

What about your collector on your headers? 2.5" or 3"?

Darth_Emma · 02-15-2011, 01:07 PM

My shop did mention in passing that I'd get more hp by removing the cats. I don't think I'll do that though. I understand the exhaust really smells bad without cats. Also, it's illegal.

The collector size on the Kooks that I'm looking at are 3".

Hell, it's illegal for me to put LTs on here in Cali, but I'll deal with that in 4 years when I have to get my smog test done.

I'd definitley go with that. I'm gonna measure mine and see. I don't remember a step on my connection. I think mine are 2.5".

i went with 2" primaries because eventually I want to supercharge. Now, Stainless Works tested them out and the 2" only gave a couple hp more over the 1 7/8". I honestly don't think you can go wrong either way.

Got some info from IPS Brandon on the cam and stall they'll put in my car.

The cam numbers are as follows - intake duration 230 @.050 exhaust duration 240 @ .050 intake lift .591" exhaust lift .608" LSA 114

The torqe converter is a Precision Industries vigilante single disk with a 2800-3000 stall speed.

So then, according to my calculations I dont' know what the heck you just said.

Here is what it means in a nutshell:

YAHOOOOOOOOO!

Maybe we can get Spike to explain it to us in more detail.
