Sorry, I've searched and searched...can someone tell me what the diameter of the stock headers is?

Thanks!

I had a 1 1/2 " baffle mounded inside the header pipe in front of the muffler. I never measured it, but I would have to guess that the "inside" diameter of the header pipe is 1 1/2 " and the "outside" diameter close to 1 3/4 ". Maybe someone in here can verify with some calipers to be sure.

I think they are referred to as 1 3/4 "
that would be outside diameter

Thanks Shorty and Geoff...I'm looking at some cocktail shaker pipes that are 1 1/2 inch. Maybe I can adapt them with a reducer of some sort.

Cheers!

Awesome, thanks everyone. I'm going to try to hook up with the guy sometime next week. He's got some clubman bars that maybe just what I'm looking for as well. I'll post pics once I get the parts..
