Default Header Size Opinion

I'm running a Kenne Bell blower and about 8lbs of boost where i'm at. 75mm throttle body, CAI, GT40 intake, and the rest is all stock. i have a set of 1 5/8" headers that i need to have ceramic coated, but the more i think about it the more i'm not sure if i want to go with it.

So my question is, what is everyone's opinion with 1 5/8" vs 1 3/4"? i know I'd lose a little more low end torque with the 1 3/4", but would it be more beneficial in the end? is it worth the price difference, or should i just get the 1 5/8" that i have no ceramic coated? Thanks guys
