Edelbrock makes stepped long tubes in stainless, ceramic coated, and a ti-tech finish at a great price and they tuck up real tight and hooker makes 1 7/8 long tubes at a good price to but I have no experience with them

I have kooks 1 7/8 headers with a lowered car and they fit great. Clearance wise they tuck up under the car better than alot of other headers I have seen.

i have qtp i 3/4 on mine and the driver side seems to hang alittle lower than i would like.i've seen a set of kooks on a car that looked like they tucked very good.if you are set on 1 7/8 i'd either go with the kooks or stepped edelbrocks.
