All the sidetubes at summit has a 4" inlet and made no mention to SB/BB.

I always thought there was a difference visually.

From the looks of it some sidetubes have larger primaries but all seem to be about 4" at the collector.

Must be the paittriot side pipes that are smaller. STS offers 3.5" baffels they must fit other brands.

same size for small block and big block. The only difference is the size of the primary pipes. Small block has 1 7/8" and Big Block is 2 1/8" primary pipes
