Which size headers for my combo ? I appreciate not really FI related. But the guys here make a lot more power, so would be better placed for advice.

Unfortunately, nobody in the UK can bend 1 7/8" tubing....
I want to be racing again early-mid march, so sending mine to the US to have a set duplicated, isnt really feasable, as it will definately take far too long.
Its either stick with my current 1 3/4" which are fine really.
Get a new set of stainless 1 3/4", which is probably pointless
Or the 2" stainless.
Plug access isnt something I considered though.....must check that at present, although I know its pretty easy for me now, but a couple of my leads are fairly close.

The most common is 1 3/4" or 1 7/8" for those making a little more power.
can you shed any light on these cars making decent power on 1 5/8" ?
