Default corvette central magnaflow mufflers

Coming to the experts for help...
Im looking to replace my stock c3 1978 silver anniversary L48 mufflers with magnaflows. I have been looking on corvette central and it seems that they only have magnaflows 2 1/4 " and up. I believe the stock exhaust system on an L48 is 2" am I correct? Do they make magnaflow replacements for a stock L48 2" system or was I misinformed?
Any guidance would be helpful.

AJ

78 L-48 base engines had 2 1/4inch Y pipe and mufflers. L-82's had 2.5 inch y pipe and mufflers…neither had 2 inch pipes.

With exception to right off the exhaust manifolds, of course...

(and a good reason why any kind of aftermarket header is superior any of the stock small block offerings, and yes, I include the 80-82 "shorties" in that statement).
