do u mean the 1 5/8? well the 1 3/4 are LONG TUBES as you know and will flow a LOT better. although an engine will do better with any headers in comparison to the exhaust manifolds. dont know about the clearance though....i havent got mine on yet. from what ive heard there are no problems. good luck
