Personally, if I couldn't have my current set of headers (no longer made) I would go with 1-7/8. My tuner has not seen major loss of low end and only benefit on the high end.

It would be interesting to know whether the dimension is measured ID or OD.
I have XS power on my car. The tubes measure 1.86" OD. Maybe they are real thick? Advertised as 1 3/4 of course.
I have another set of Bassani Try Y to try....maybe.....also advertised as 1 3/4", and they measure 1.75" od.
Food for thought.
Perhaps some of you fellows could grab the calipers and measure what is on your car?

LG's tested both the 1 3/4 and 1 7/8 and said on a stock cube 346 the 1 3/4 pulled more torque.
I spoke with Anthony at LG's a year ago about that.
I'm running 1 3/4 and very happy with my results.
On a bigger cube motor you would benefit from the 1 7/8.
Why don't you ask me this stuff Dave ?
