I think they make both but I'm pretty sure the LTx specific ones are 1 3/4. I'm not sure if you can get them anywhere cheaper than you can from them but I don't really know. http://www.tpis.com/
Just checked their site for the first time in a long time. I believe they ARE all 1 3/4.

Boulder is right. Buying from them is the best price you'll get... and lately they are a major pain in the **** to work with. Check on here... Exotic Muscle headers are of equal or better quality and they give CF members discounts on their products. And from everything I've seen, Hooker offers your best bang for your buck and can be bought from JetHot direct.

I guess the major difference between something like Headmann and TPIS is that flange...the Headmann is much thinner and after lots of heat/cool cycles more likely to leak.
Not a header expert at all...just spewing what I've been told.
