The only 1's I know of are the QTP's formaly known as the Grots which measure 1 7/8ths. The dynatechs as mentioned above are stepped headers. They go from 1 3/4's to 1 7/8ths. Both great headers, just the dynatechs are suppose to be a major PITA to have the collector seal to the 4 tubes.

Dynatech has some 1 7/8 headers that are really nice. They are good units and you never hear squa about them on the net.

Look through www.jegs.com for them.

For a large displacement engine I'd recommend the 1 7/8" headers from QTP (used to be made by Roger G.) They come with a nice 3" into 4" Y-pipe I believe (at least the 1 3/4" ones do.)

Colonel, would you recommend the Grott/QTP 1 3/4" headers with that Y-pipe on a 346cid?? Or would you recommend a different header/y pipe combo altogether?

I wish that somebody would come out with a nice 1 7/8 to 2" stepped header with 3.5" collectors. I think the Grotts would be great with a 3.5" collector as well.
