Glad to see someone make a stepped design for C7's, I will definitely consider these if I do headers.

Nice a 1.75" stepped to 1.875" sounds like the best option, especially for NA builds.

1-7/8 Headers would be the preferred setup for FI cars. Which LG
also makes.

Typically a stepped header is preferred for N/A cars that are just
"Bolt-on" because you lose a little low end torque at full 1-7/8

A FI car does not really see those loses

Gotcha but How would the stepped header perform on the s/c on top end same as a normal 1/78 or little less I would think it would perform same since it turns in to a 1/78 torge the end

It is a little pinched down on the top end because the neck up
changes the scavenging and back pressure

When I say it is a little short on the top end HP, about 5-8 HP,
not a number you would ever be able to tell or feel and it is
within the average dyno error rate, but still, if you have a FI
car, there is no reason to drop it when it is there for the taking

Yup - personally I love the sound of stepped headers - they sound
tighter - crisper to me...JMHO

Mine are going on along with a ported Intake, ported TB, and AFE. Expecting to see some nice TQ under the curve. Will post dyno results (car goes to Doug Rippie Motorsports first week of April)...

It made 430/434 on Rippie's Dynojet. He always tunes pretty conservative, and has my AFR at 12.5:1 so there is some room left on the table. I can tell you it pulls very nice and sounds insane. Anyone of the fence running LT's on your LT1 I would say go for it!

Everyone I have talked to recommends straight 1 7/8's if you are going boosted. Keep us posted on your build
