Today is the day I make the decision on headers for my C5 and I need everyone’s help!

Top Speed’s response and accomadation for selling me a product that didn’t fit.
This is the e-mail from the manager stepping in for Josh today says, “this product retails for $800 I can send it to your door for $650” Strongly thinking about going for it. It says it’s outvof stock but she’s saying I can have it today.

Only problem I see is this is the 1 7/8 displacement. I don’t need more than 1 3/4. Unless I missed something all the headers they offer for the C5 are 1 7/8. Will 1/8 really make a counter productive difference ?

that is all up to you, I was just stating that the 1 7/8" primary size will be just fine

Sounds like it would be a screamer at WOT. Plus with my TI axle back I’m confident with that and the bi-pass it would be good. Honestly as long as the install goes well I think it’s worth the 900 I’ll save

1 3/4" is ideal, 1 7/8" will work fine (although admittedly I would stick with the former)
IIRC those have 2 1/2" collectors. If so that's not the best. Collector size is important.
These looklikeall the same Ebay headers, such as Manzo.
Just some thoughts...

yes, it could still technically fail the visual inspection but many places don't even look

Depends... if you have a visual inspection and there's no cats, it won't pass. We have no inspection where I live, but I installed cats anyway.
