for 90% of application 1 3/4" LT's will be just fine. i'd get the stepped for a stroker setup or something.

as far as your other question look on page 1-3 or search, there are plenty of threads to answer them.

I did the 1 3/4 stepped to 1 7/8 Kooks headers when I replaced my SLP LT due to clearance issues, Very nice header, the sound improvement alone was worth the money, Get Stainless steel. I went with the stepped in case I ever went with H/C or some other mod.

If you need them, we have a set of stepped headers on the shelf, uncoated.

I did dyno tune after after the SLP LT and 1.85 rockers, those two mods gave me 60 rwhp and 50 rwtq. I have not done any dyno work after the switch to Kooks, They did though have a noticable SOTP feel over the SLP's, the car had better low end then with the SLP's. The Sound through the corsa now is pure muscle car, that was my biggest suprise. Kooks also tuck up really nice, actually Kooks and QTP headers are pretty much the same and are based off of the Grot header design.

From what I have heard, all you need to do is get the car up high enough and it becomes easy, I had TTP install mine
