Confused about header sizes

Confused about header sizes
Ok, the LS1 starts out as a 346. And even the LS2 is only a 364. So SBC sizes like 1.75 and 1.875 seem about right.
However, there are a lot of 408, 427, 434, 441, and 447 LS1s also. Chevy big block sizes are more like 2 and 2.125".
Does anyone make/use headers like that on their LS1? How would you ever get them in an F-body or Y-body?
Thanks,
David

For stock cubes 1-3/4" is the best size primary, for bigger cubes 1-7/8" will really help the engine breathe. I don't believe there are any bigger, nor would you need bigger for the LSX platform.
