Who makes 2" headers that fit Fbodies? I have a 427. Running 1 7/8" headers but I'd like to step up to 2" headers. Anyone make a set that will fit our cars?

Does your car have an aftermarket light weight K-member? When I asked same question in 2017 was told by a couple of vendors the light weight tublar k member really opens up the options for different brands of 2 inch headers to fit.
IIRC DynaTech has a 2 inch that fits the stock K member with minimal clearancing typically required around the stock k member. The 2 inch Kook's fit with more clearancing around the stock k member required.
I didn't want to get a light weight tublar k member or deal with clearancing so stuck with 1 7/8 Kook's.

My question is...Why!
That 1/8" isn't gonna make any real difference. Now if you were stepping up from 1-3/4" then yes
Now if your current headers are beat up, trashed and ready for a new set. Then that would be a good reason to get 2". But if it's just for the sake of the oooo--aaahhhh of having 2" primaries, well it's your money.

Many threads on Corvette Forum showing gains with 2’ headers over 1 7/8’ headers. 2 1/8” headers show even more gains over 1 7/8” at rpm. ARH in my opinion make the highest quality set. I have a set on my Chevelle and it’s quality from flange to collector. Great choice of header for your F-Body.
Different chassis but we made the most HP with a set of ARH headers, very nice build quality on them.
I think Kooks is the best option. I have their true-dual over-the-axle exhaust and 1 7/8 headers on my LS1, and it sounds better than any non-Kooks exhaust sound byte or video that I listened to. It is expensive, but it just sounds right... unless you prefer crackles and pops in your exhaust note.
