I would go with kooks steped 1 3/4" to 1 7/8" they are the best for keeping low end exhaust velocity up for more low end torque as well as more power up top.

Default Re: low end torque

Looking at my PPC dyno charts.......and comparing before & after torque numbers......here's a summary:

2000 rpm - same
2500 rpm - same
3000 rpm - + 5
3500 rpm - + 10
4000 rpm - + 10
4500 rpm - + 21
5000 rpm - + 20
5500 rpm - + 10
6000 rpm - + 5

This is with the emissions style 1.75" PPC Headers and 3" y-pipe without cats, using the stock WS6 exhaust.
