still confused on what headers I should get??
 I'm still confused on which header I should get? I did some research & even posted on this forum on which header to get & still don't know which one I'm going to get. Every one was telling me to go with the Kooks 1 7/8ths header , that it would produce more H.P & torque than the 1 3/4 but I'm getting conflicting storys cause SLP said their engineering Dept. test shows that their 1 3/4 headers make more power/torque than 1 7/8's on most normal applications. I already have an SLP Axle-back 'Loudmouth" exhaust on my 2011 Camaro 2/SS/RS with the L-99 Motor in it. & was wanting to keep my Loudmouth axleback but install headers with an X-pipe to connect with it. What should I do? Please Help  Thank you

Go with the Kooks 1 7/8" They will go with your future upgrades. Also you are only talking maybe 10 HP/TQ IF THAT!! difference with the 1 3/4". That will never be felt.

Have you considered TSP 1 7/8 LT headers? very good fit/finish and reasonably priced IMO

When we were doing testing with ours....given the fitment requirements for the Camaro there was not a lot of difference in the 1 3/4 to the 1 7/8" headers. There was a slight torque increase with the smaller 1 3/4 but total power under the curve was better with the 1 7/8" on these cars.
Of course comparing just tube size without looking at the overall fitment, pipe length, and collector design is going to not be an apples to apples comparison. |

2" Headers will produce the highest peak gains, that's why I got them. I have Stainless Works, they are top notch quality. However, with Kooks, ARH, LG, TSP you are getting great quality there too.

They are trying to sell their product cause they don't have 1 7/8 sized headers lol.
You cant go bad With 1 7/8 kooks TSP In that order.

ive had coated kooks on my car for 2 years now (1 7/8) they still look great. car is daily driven so there's been plenty of time for them to start looking rough.. nothing yet.
