Need help!!! 1 5/8 Headers??
I just bought a set of used Headers. They are 1 5/8". Are they worth putting on my Z? I dont "race" I just want a little more power, and sound. Should I go ahead and install these or wait for some bigger headers? Is there a very big diffrence?
Thanks!!!
Matt

I would recommend you wait and go with 1 3/4". Either new or used, that's the way to go.

Put them on!!! A long time ago we ran a lot of 1.625 headers with good results. If you start doing some more mods, like cam, heads and stuff like the smaller tubes are going to hold you back some.

My 1 3/4" Kooks on a totally stock block/cam etc are performing well.

Thanks for the help guys, Im going to go ahead and put them on.
I am not going to do much to the engine for now. Down the road I see a STS kit maybe, but thats it!
At least thats what I told the wife!!!

Thanks
