Headers
Hey everyone
This has probably been talked about countless times but I have a 05 and want to put headers on it but honestly don't know what inlet and collecter combo I should get or brand etc. so what's everyone's thoughts and combos and brands I'm gonna be getting a cam in the very near future so if that effects the combos just let me know! Thanks in advance

if you are going to add power like all the bolt ons and a cam and maybe heads then get the 1 7/8" but if you just do the mufflers and maybe a CAI then go with the 1 3/4". The reason for this is the stock ls2 engine doesnt make enough power for the larger headers. you lose some torque and it will feel slower. once you add power like a ported TB and intake and cam the larger headers will will help.

Because of the head design on the LS2, the 1 7/8" headers loose a ton of tq compared to 1 3/4" headers with no increase up top.
On an LS2, with stock heads, always run 1 3/4" headers.

if you want a modified 05 sell yours first as it is stock ..and then buy one that is already modified - you can get the upgrade for free or even less
when you have cash in hand you are king for mod car purchases , you may rethink your options differently and have saved a fortune in the transition
your current plan is financially less economical and less productive
you can get more for less this way
trying to sell your- soon to be modifed unit- later is a less than prudent financial decision
newer later model c-6s will deliver the same or better performances for the same cost into your moded 05 and you won't get hit on the resale of the modiified c6 - 05
chose wisely
