I am ordering my headers from Kooks tomorrow for my LS6 and I am trying to decide between the 1 3/4 or the 1 7/8. I already have BB exhaust with X pipe and a K&N CAI. I plan to do cam and heads and a TPIS or fast 90 & 90mm ported TB in like 2 to 3 months. Later down the road I might S/C the V so i want to get the right size headers. Is anyone running the 1 7/8" headers because all i ever see is the 1 3/4" on most peoples V's

I have 1-3/4 and have heard that 1-7/8 is better for S/C. However, I'm going S/C and have no plans to change to the larger ones. IMHO, unless you're counting each and every little hp, 1-3/4 will be just fine.

Whoa! Just realized ... lots of cool, modded V's being put together all over the place! Your's sounds really cool! :highfive:

I eventually want to start doing some major modding but I want to wait till my warranty is up. Then 427 baby!

George at Kooks told me that the 1 7/8 were only for insanely built engines (mega choppy cam, huge heads, and gigantic intakes). I'd say stick with the 1 3/4.

Tony if I am planing to bulid the engine up in the next couple of months is there any negative effects to running the 1 7/8 headers vs the 1 3/4 headers when the car is not fully built or S/C ?

You trade bottom end torque for top end HP with larger diameter headers. On a built motor you don't even notice, but you may on the stock LS6. Other than that, there's no real negative effects.

In 3 weeks they will be here. I had a really nice talk with Kooks yesterday and it looks like i have a new advertiser...:thumbsup: Oh and f#@$%&$ what do you mean you wont help 'do' the install with me...

j/k lol... Don't worry bro there are getting installed in Pompano and getting dyno tuned that day... As for catching up i am talking to someone else about advertising right now and this mod will deff void the warranty...:stirpot:
