Just got car back after AR header install
All I can say is 'WOW'!!! And I thought this car sounded like a new machine after exhaust. 
The headers are insane sounding, especially at 4000+ rpm!
I went with the 1 7/8 x 3 because I plan on doing FI or heads/cam in 6-8 months.
The ONLY negative I can see is me having to raise my car back up a little bit for clearance into the garage. My driveway is kinda steep and the cats will hit the angle where driveway/flat garage floor meet.
Other than finding a new house, I'm trying to find a solution/ramp that would allow me to keep ride height where i have it.

Stop teasing me. I've had mine stacked up in the basement for months. I want to get my hands on a tuner before I install them.

U can install and drive it before u can tune, i drove 2-3k miles after header install and before i got diablo tune. It was running little bit lean not a big deal.
