Question which size is better 1 3/4 or 1 7/8?

Ok was wondering which size of headers are best for my set up the 1 3/4 or 1 7/8 headers for my 2002 Trans am? I have a ,magnaflow catback? and will be getting a hooker ORY... want to know if it will all hook up together perfectly no matter what size the headers? will the hooker ORY fit my magnaflow also?... thanks

1 3/4 due to the stock exhaust flow. U would probably lose going with a 1 7/8 setup on a stock car.

If you know you are going to go BIG later then get the 1 7/8.
You don't lose anything with the 1 7/8 over the 1 3/4. Not going off what i hear or read i actually did a back to back dyno test on y car when it only had bolt on's. do a search under my name for the thread.
