Headers, X-Pipe and Loudmouth exhaust ADVICE!!!
So I have a 2010 Auto SS. Thinking of adding the SLP headers, x-pipe, and loudmouth exhaust. Only thing I have added is a K&N CAI. Should I add 1 3/4" or 1 7/8". Why and what's the difference?

The larger the primary diameter gets the more air the headers will flow and the further up the RPM range the power band is moved. The impact of the larger primary diameters is increased the more powerful the engine is, especially when you introduce forced induction. This means that generally the more power you make or the more race oriented your application is the bigger primary diameter you need, the closer to stock or the more street oriented the smaller primary diameter you need. In the specific example of the 2010+ Camaro SS, we have found that the 1 7/8 long tube headers are the best all around header for the typical bolt on modified car that is driven on the street regularly and occasionally taken to the track. They offer a tremendous improvement over stock with room to grow as owners modify their car further.
If you have any other questions feel free to give us a call or shoot me a PM. |

It's hard to pass on a 1 7/8" system. They make a lot of sense on these motors. Check out the Stainless Works 1 7/8" full system, they are a popular set up and have had nothing but the highest reviews. |

only go with 1-3/4 if you cant afford the 1-7/8. but 2 inch is too big. you need 600+ to see the benefit from them

I disagree on the 2", why not get them? I have them, as I plan on going FI, but there's no harm if you don't. I don't buy anything with a ceiling, you end up replacing it later.

I have the exact same setup with the 1 7/8 LT's, HiFLO Cat's, and LMII. I think it really wakes up the Camaro.
