I've got an 82 Capri RS 5.0 that has a 89 HO short block, Comp XE266HR cam, Twisted Wedge 170's, RPM air gap, 650 Quick fuel, 89 5.0 T5, 8.8 w/3.73's, I am currently running Ford Racing shorties with a MAC off-road X-pipe, & Flowmaster 3 chamber cat back. The car runs extremly well, but you always want more.

I've got a set of BBK 1 5/8" long tubes and a set of BBK 1 3/4" long tubes and a short off-road X-pipe. Would there be any disadvantages in going with the 1 3/4" headers with this combo? I just don't want to go backwards with performance.

from my personally experince the 1 5/8 would work better for your combo

True story...

OK, I will probably go with the 1 5/8" for now and save the 1 3/4" for a 347 build!
