Header with Blower question?
Ok sorry if this is the wrong forum but thought I'd post here since the car has a Paxton.
I currently have Kooks 1 3/4 long tube headers with cats. Would it be worth my time and money (swap cost) to switch out to 1 7/8 setup with cats? Also would I gain anything HP/Torque wise?
Thanks for the advice

The gains would be minimal at best and you may even lose torque pre-boost. If you were starting from scratc the 1 7/8" primaries may be preferrable but not worth swapping out IMO.

You will trade some low end tq for some hp up top. Not worth it unless you are making north of 700 atw I would say. Unless you have a roots blower and low end tq is not a concern....
