The 1 3/4's and 1 7/8's are the same price.

I'm running 1 3/4 kooks lt stainless steal. love them have had them on for alittle 2 yrs now and still no rust, however do have some discoloration due to high heat from exhaust just a couple of inches from heads but, thats expected. go with 1 3/4 for best fit.

Well you can either be accurate or you can be Taco I guess. I just installed the stepped and they were easier than the last 1 3/4 headers I installed.

As far as removing the stock stuff use penetrating oil and you wont have trouble.
Your whole argument was to not use the 1 7/8's because they dont do anything and cost more than the 1 3/4's. So I corrected you on that. They are the same price as the 1 3/4's , its the stepped that cost more.(and for reason). Now your going down a different path to not be wrong about what you've said and no matter what your still wrong
Just give it up.

Just give it up.1 3/4 > 1 7/8. unless you're running a stroker or big boost, i see no point.
