Since people are questioning the install of 1 7/8" vs 1 3/4" maybe a little explanation is due here. As I understand from reading other posts on a non head/cam engine you loose torque with the bigger diameter header. So you would need to decide if you intend, or already have done cam/heads unless ease of installation is the primary factor and not ET's. Also a consideration is how close the tubes are to the starter because if they are almost touching they will cook a starter unless you use some kind of heat shield.

In my own personal American Racing 1 3/4" header install, the driver's side went in from the bottom VERY easily.
The passenger side took me about 2 hours to get in from the bottom. The problem is that it hits the hard AC line. I finally had to motivate it with a mallet. It was an exercise in complete frustration.
With that said, it is good product and I love new power/sound.
Your AR header installations may be easier, but this was my own personal experience.

What system after all this time did you go with? How do you like it? How was the install?
