What size headers should I go with???

Hey guys i am looking into getting a set of long tube headers. I see that i have a choice of 1 3/4 or 1 7/8. I don"t plan on going with a blower or anything like that but coming from the trailblazer SS world i know you would lose power if you went with the 1 7/8 with just basic mods. Is that the situation for a 2006 charger with a 6.1?

What are the sizes you are talking about? Are you talking diameter sizes of the tubes? I just dont see how you would lose power with any set of headers. The headers would be less restrictve than the stock headers so I think you would gain hp either way. Are you on a stock exhaust?

Check here this is a lil info..

Yes i am talking about the diameter sizes of the tubes. Which would be better to go with 1 3/4 or 1 7/8? I have stock exhaust now but i plan on doing the zoomers cat back at the time of the headers.

IMO the larger the better. It will breathe better with the 1 7/8 even though its only 1/8" difference.

X2........ the bigger the better! But make sure you do the exhaust also! After that a nice 85mm throttle body would coincide with all that!

Thanks for the responses everybody!

No prob bro. We got one rule though....when you get them installed, you got to post up a video so we can hear them.

Will do man...thanks
