Lets talk headers

Ok, your thoughts? SS 327-275hp 3rd gen Camaro, 1 7/8 no step or 1 3/4-1 7/8 - 2in 3 step/ Both with merge collectors. Running in fair to bad air all season. Better set?

I have 1 7/8 straight with 3.5 inch collectors on my 327 275/295 combo running SS/IA. Runs Ok but I think a smaller header would help. 1 3/4 step would most likely be better. Maybe even 1 5/8.

You might as well be talking about sax and politics!

no maybe definitely! Most run headers that are not one but two pipe sizes too big.
