HI Frank, I'll try again. 92 manifolds with 2 1/8" opening will flow
better than headers with a 1 7/8' opening because the opening to the
cross over is larger. When you change to the larger 92 manifolds, you
can't fit it to your original 1 7/8" crossover so you run the 92 2 1/8
crossover, or as in my case I had 2 2 1/4 pipes made up for my duals.
Sorry, maybe I don't understand your question. All I know is the 92
larger manifolds and 2 1/4' duals gave me an improvment of 4 tenths 0 to
60. The mod was cheaper than headers, the manifolds bolted right in, I
don't have to worry about future leaks, and when I open my hood every
thing looks stock. DW
