Are 1 3/4" headers too small for FI
Hey,
I am thinking of going with the XS Power headers and they are only available in 1 3/4". Seem like agood bang for the buck for under $900 with cats. I am currently at 500RWHP with a stock engine and an A&A kit. I know 1 7/8" are recommended, but it seems like a lot more money to pay for a little more power. I feel like the extra money could be better spent.
Any opinions?

900 rw at 15 psi and 1 3/4 LG pros and 5.80 in the 1/8 on a 402. Headers will be the last thing we upgrade on this car. Needs more blower at the moment. F1a is out of air

1.75" headers on a Ysi powered 364 making 915whp. Yeah it's getting choked a bit but they are still workin well. I to would vote for bigger headers if its an option, these will get swapped out this winter.

Me and Arun@ccp installed ARH 2" on his car, it was a breeze, we were ready for any installment issues but those surprise us, went so easy. I would say ARH 1 7/8 from the start.

If your no hurry to buy headers keep an eye out in the parts for sale section. I picked up a set of LG Pro's 1 7/8 coated headers, mid pipe with no cats for $600 that looked new. You can come across some really good deals.
