i don't think they make 1-5/8" primaries ...if they do that's news to me

you want to go with 1-3/4" for stock cubic motor
the 1-7/8" is for larger cubic motors....

you could always go 1-3/4" stepped to 1-7/8" but more than likely just go with the 1-3/4"

Most people with stock displacement avoid 1 7/8", due to a claimed "loss in low-end power." Either way, you don't need 1 7/8" with your current and planned mods.

You should be very pleased with Kooks. I recommend the race headers without emissions. The fit, sound, and power are totally awesome. I love mine!

Like said already, unless you're planning on more cubes you don't need/want the 1 7/8" primaries.

1 3/4" for your setup dude. Also, if you want some raspy *** sounding ****, I recommend their catted y. Yeah, it costs a bit more, but I hate the sound of an ORY.
