Headers
hey guys ive been looking at getting some longtube headers for my car but idk if i really need it or not or would be a good combo with my car...
i have a 2014 5.0 with a roush supercharger and was wondering if LT's would be a good upgrade with it... but does the size of the piping make a difference?
like 1 3/4 to 1 7/8.
ive had full stainless works exhaust on my 2011 5.0 and that thing hauled *** after i put those on...but would it be better too have shorties with the supercharger or LT's?
i would appreciate any advice on this thanks

I've been seriously considering doing long tubes and a smaller pulley with a re-tune for a while now. I've done a lot of research and I don't think you can go wrong with Kooks. I'm always looking for the best deal, there a vendor or two that are doing good pricing on the 1 7/8 and Maryland Speed (sponsor on this site so I thought it be safe to mention them) is doing free heat coating on them. You may also want to look into ARH (American Racing Headers) I've heard nothing but good about them and the shop that would be doing the work for me if I go this route is a big fan on them.

Yes, for a forced induction (Super charger) 1 7/8 Would allow the engine to breathe better than a 1 3/4 set up, It is also extremely dependent upon your tune however. No "mail" tunes will cover you now, its all dyno from here on out. Good Luck!

The speed shop here in Raleigh that did my install also did the same install with KOOKS L/T and they said the gains were better with the Stainless Works headers, as if the KOOKS were more of a mid-length header.
MINE=JLT CAI/Stainless Works L/T 1 3/4 headers/BOSS Intake
OTHER=JLT CAI/KOOKS L/T 1 3/4 headers/BOSS intake

KOOKS makes great products, but IMO Stainless Works is even better.
