Hmmmm....let me respond to your reply 1bad89. Have you ever seen stock headers on a mustang? They may say there 1 1/2" but if you sit a JBA 1 1/2 header next to a stock one even you should be able to see there is no comparison. Tube size shape and bends are nothing alike. Its all about velocity, and efficiency. I am not saying everyone is buying the wrong size header, if I had high flowing heads and big cam in mind and didnt have to smog test I would be right in line with some larger tubes. But for now and up to 350HP I wouldnt give up the torque and useable HP.
