Default Help with Headers

I have spent much time on this website reading a lot but I am still lost when it comes to my header decision. Car is a 00 M6 Z28. Stock. I have decided on Kooks headers and Y pipe but I dont know what size to get (1 7/8, 1 3/4, steeped? HELP) The car is only driven 10 days a month and I already know what catback system I am going with, I just need some help deciding on headers.....a brief suggestion and why is greatly appreciated.

What engine? LS1? Vehicle?

Kooks stepped would be the Caddy of the headers. 1 3/4 is an average size, you can run 1 7/8, but not exactly needed. This also depends on your future plans. If you plan on a blower, go with the 1 7/8.

Also, whatever you feel like spending, but difference between one Kooks LT and the next is minimal anyway.

Glad to see that your going with Kooks, Great Header. I just put 1 3/4" on My Firehawk and love them, which ever size you choose, I'm sure you will like them.
