well I don't know tomuch about the amss header that's something you may wanna ask them how big the piping is and match that for your exaust. I got the RPW headers and they were 2.5" in an out of the cat so I matched it for my exaust.

Its said that your supposed to run at least 3" from the header back, but instead of the Amss headers you could use the Ripps SDS header instead.. You could ask vegasmatt what size he is going to use, i think he said he was gonna run 2.75" from the ripps header back..

I am 2.5" from the header back. No probs as of yet. I might upgrade to 2.75 though.

i dont want to looes back presure becuase that would be no good but i will eventualy after the S/C get my motor and tranny beefed up then add a shot of nos. i want to run 200whp if not more out of the S/C on stock internals then i will beef iup the motor probably 3 or 4 mounths after i get the S/C installed then again get it tuned and dynoed
