I think you will find that both are going to meet/exceed your expectations...

If you're talking about the recent SS ones from texas speed then now. Otherwise I believe the old ones were mild steel vs SS for kooks.

1 7/8 will make more power over 1 3/4. I would recommend doing those. TSPs are the most budget friendly out there in the 1 7/8 stainless dept . Kooks, QTP, and ARH are all top quality and made in America.
