Best Plug Wires with 1 7/8" Headers

Need some recommendations on best plug wires to use on 1 7/8" headers (links would be very helpful). Have heard to go with ceramic and some say regular with protective heat socks. Thank you as always.

Stock are perfectly fine. I'm making near 1000whp and still on stock plug wires.

Probably depends on the headers. ARH 2” with factory wires and aluminum shields here. No problems.

Thank you guys. Appreciate the feedback. I knew going with 2" tubes would be close but didnt know about 1 7/8 tube requirements for wires.

I'm a fan of the MSD wires. Not that they perform any better, but I like the fitment better with headers and they don't require heat socks. They also have a more engaging "click" onto the plug with a bendable boot that is half the diameter of the stock plug wire, and then on the coil side they have a very satisfying double click. This is how you know they are on properly.
