1 3/4 for a stock cube motor - kooks, lg, or AR are all good choices.

I added the LG 1 3/4" streets and I'm pleased. They add a lot of mid-range torque. Fit well with nomproblems. 1 3/4 is the right size for a mildly modded stock cube engine. Larger is only necessary if you plan alot of extensive mods. On a mild motor the streets work well enough to save the extra money towards the Pros for other mods.

We have installed plenty of Kooks headers. They are top quality and the fitment is great. I don't have any personal experience with the LG's.

The 1 3/4" will be fine for you. If you have plans for an aggressive heads & cam setup or larger cubes in the future, I would get the 1 7/8".

I would also say that 1-3/4 should suit your needs.Unless your planning a head an cam swap or n2o in the future. If your interested or have questions about our product PM me or call the shop we'll be glad to help you out

I went with the ARH 1 7/8 header and love them! Ive put on both kooks and ARH and I prefer the ARH...plus the owner of ARH was at kooks and decided to make a better header, thus starting ARH. However, you will be happy with either kooks, ARH, or LGs. I would find a used set and save some cash money

I got a deal I could not pass up on Kooks from G-Force. There is a bigger Ci motor in my future so I went with 1-7/8. Thanks for all the input as usual!
