header size
For a track car, 3.0 engine, 11.8 to 1.0, D60 cams, MFI, twin plug. What size header do want for that set up, OD/ID. Thanks, Bob
|
I'd go with the 1-3/4" primary pipes or at least 1-5/8".
|
My thoughts; 1&5/8. I'd think 1.75 might be a tad large for a 3.0?
|
1 5/8" for sure. 1 3/4" is too big for a normally aspirated 3.0L.

I have a 914 with a similar spec 3.0, except webers with big ports and 1-1/2" headers. It's a street car so I haven't been chasing HP, but I picked up a soup to nuts twin plug EFI system so I'm going to 1-5/8" headers. |

Let me give more perspective:
I had a 3.6L race engine with stock 1995 993 EFI intake system and 1 5/8" O.D. headers (not with overly thin wall tubing) make over 320 HP. Testing indicated that the intake was the limiting factor as more power could be made with a larger throttle body. I now have a 3.6L race engine with 45mm AT Power ITBs and 1 3/4" O.D. headers (again, not with overly thin wall tubing) make over 430 HP. There is no way the 3.0L engine described needs more exhaust flow than what 1 5/8" O.D. headers would provide. In fact, the 1 3/4" O.D. headers would hurt power output especially under 6000 RPM. |

diameter is only part of the equation. That said, a 3.0 NA motor should not need more than 1 5/8....
|
Pipe diameter goes up with the square root of flow, so the graph shows you how you need bigger pipes if your redline and desired power band are higher than if they are lower.

the 2.7 operating up to 8k may want the same exhaust as a 3.8 operating to 6.5k general rule of thumb for the eigen values of stockish street motors all ~31" primaries +/- to 3.0 1 3/8" ID to 3.4 1 1/2" ID to 4.0 1 5/8" ID |
