Default ARH 1 3/4" kit ?

i am thinking about getting a set of ARH long tube headers for my 02 Z06. My only mods will be a honker, the ARH kit, and a tune. I am going with the 1 3/4" kit with the 3"x2.5" cat x-pipe. Anyone running this combo? how do you like it? How does your car perform on the street? any info would be great. I did a search and i found a lot of dyno numbers for the LG pros and the 1 7/8" ARH kit. Thanks brian

Give a call over to ARH and tell them your immediate and future plans. They are great people. I ended up with 1 7/8 " with cats based on my future plans. Anger Management Racing did the install and is getting my car ready for the Corvette Challenge on Saturday.

I'm running the 1 3/4 on my Z06 with a 402 strocker and the Vortec supercharger. Everything seems to be just fine with what I'm running. With the 1 7/8 you would get a little more flow. My car is running 604 rwhp and 568 rwtq. Hope this is of some help to you. Gary.

I think it's a terrible idea QUICKSILVERZ! That would make your QUICKSILVERZ faster than my Quick Silver Z, QUICKSILVERZ...

How about filling out your profile so we can learn more about you? Sounds like you'll be here for a while.
