Default Which size LT headers for my C5?

Which size should I go with - 1 3/4" or 1 7/8" ?
Have basic stuff - CAI, hole cut in shroud, no cats, x-pipe, and GHL catback. I don't plan on doing much more else after the Long Tubes and a tune. I have a 2000 model 6 speed if that makes any difference.

go with the 1-3/4" for your mods

1-7/8" are for the big cubes

I agree, Go with 1-3/4" unless you plan on some bigger mods. I went with 1-7/8" Kooks because I have a Procharger system, You could use my size with your mods & you would pickup some gains, just not as much as you would with the 1-3/4" Hope this helps & best of luck~~CHRiS~~
