im leaning more to pacesetter, but then i saw that the rk sport headers had 1 3/4 inch piping on the header, compared to the 1 1/4 inch on the pace setter.
which one would i get more power from? and second most of all, which one would produce a better sound?
i hav 3inch piping back already to a delta flowmaster super 40
think of an exhaust system like you bowel movements. You with me here? ok.... if your intestines arent big enough you'll be constipated, nobody wants that, restricts flow, makes it come out all hard and painful. On the other hand if your pipes are too wide you'll get explosive diarreha, which nobody wants.
to sum this up, if your pipes are too small (stock manifolds) your constipated. But if you pipes are too big then you will have diarreaha of the explosive nature. What i'm saying doesn't actually make any sense, so completely disregard it. I say go with the cheaper set. :tup:
I have the RK sports I like them. No problems in 8 years. The only thing you need to do is have 3 bolt flanges put on instead of the 2 bolt, trust me it will fix the leaks you hear about from the RK's. Or you could go with CIA witch someone just posted some pics and they come with 3 bolt flanges. Just do searches on them, but sometimes cheapest is not the best.

I think this is similar to an exhaust piping thread that was posted a couple of months ago.
Smaller piping = less volume of exhaust but higher gas velocity through the pipes.
Larger piping = more volume of exhaust but slower velocity through the pipes.
Also, you can go into the whole temperature of the exhaust and how that effects the velocity of the exhaust through the pipe and so forth. A larger pipe will have slower exhaust velocity so it cools down quicker than a smaller pipe would. When looking at exhaust pipes, think exhaust velocity through the pipe, not "backpressure".
Why the hell would you even consider 1 1/4" primary headers?
Who knows, I like my RK's , since a run a bigger cam, VS cam 206/216 115LS, really flows well in the upper rpms. Also is really mean on the nitrous.LOL

My point was 1 1/4" is teeny tiny. Close to stock at least. Voodoo is right, I think the smallest aftermarket headers for these cars are 1 1/2".
The larger diameter primary tube will shift the torque curve up in the RPM band the same way a larger cam does. If you plan on keeping the stock cam stick with the 1 1/2" headers.
You're right. I pulled that info from an old post. I guess it's possible the design changed, but I would guess the initial info was wrong because they are in fact 1.5"
