where to find 1-7/8" dia LTs for an LT1/LT4?
Ive checked all the sponsor and only a few list actual header diameter. the closest i found to 1-7/8s are kooks stepped headers that cost 1200, and imo thats overkill for exhaust. any ohter header suggestions, do pacesetters make this size?

Buy a set of hedman hustlers.... They are 1 3/4 primaries, stepped to 1 7/8 with 3.5" collectors....
HED-65386-6 for the stepped ones... The -6 at the end of the partnumber is for ceramic thermal coating...
Or you can go with HED-65387 for a true 1 7/8" primary all the way down. It'll be tough to fit the steering rack thru on those however.... they don't show a part # for ceramic coating so you'd have to ask Hedman if you can just put a -6 on the end of the 65387 and get em coated.... They are about 1000 bucks... Me and Tony Shepherd run the stepped ones... No issues at all... they're great headers...

I know the Kooks are expensive but when you have a set of them next to a set of say Hookers they are worth the money. I have Hookers on my car and my dad recently bought some Kooks Stepped 1 3/4-7/8 and they are a piece of artwork compared to any brand of headers I have ever owned. The venturi merge spike is lightyears ahead of the Hookers that's for sure. I was reading a post on LS1GTO.com before we bought the Kooks where they dynoed a GTO and switched between Pacesetter, SLP, and Kooks 1 3/4 LT's and the Kooks made the more power and torque. I believe they made 7rwhp/9rwtq more at peak IIRC. I never use to be able to justify spending that kind of money on just headers until I have seen the Kooks in real life, installed them, and used them.

my ground clearance isn't all that bad..... hell once I start my turbo build i'll sell you these for like 500 bucks.....
My car is not lowered and i have plenty of room. If it's lowered you'll probably have like 2.5-3.5" of clearance from the ground to collector..
