Can anyone tell me if there is actually any performance difference between 1 3/4" and 1 7/8" long tube headers?
I've got a fully forged 5.7 based 392 stroker long block built for boost by MMX going into a 2012 ram 1500 and I've finally got to where I can get it in the truck. The way my bank account is set up at the moment, I'm gonna run it N/A for a while. When I had the engine built I planned on running 1 7/8" JBA's but they don't make them anymore, Texas speed is out of stock and everyone else is super expensive. I found a set of new 1 3/4" on market place that won't break the bank but I don't want to restrict my motor so I'm kinda torn as to what to go with. Will it be fine with the 1 3/4" or should I just bite the bullet and get a set of 1 7/8"?
I tried to post this on the high performance ram page but they deleted it for some reason.
I also knew before I started building it that it ain't a cheap build just for the record.
If anyone has any real knowledge on this I'd love some feedback. Thanks
