Default Need help before ordering Kooks

I am fairly new to the C5 world, so maybe someone can help out here.

When I bought my C5 z06 it had a corsa catback on it, or whatever vette guys call that portion . I dont know which one (touring, indy,)or anything.

Anyway, I am about to order Kooks 1 3/4 headers and catted mid section, but they have 3'' or 2.5'' options, and I am not sure. Should I just get under there and measure? I would believe that since it was mated to a stock mid section I would need the 2.5, but who knows. Any thoughts?

2.5 is standered OEM. I bought the LG street set up and went with the 2.5, and I too own Corsa exhaust and it fit perfectly!

I have the 3" Kooks. It bolts perfectly to the stock or in my case pacecar catback.

the 3" midpipes neck down at the very end to 2.5" for bolting to the catback, since all catbacks are 2.5"

The only 3" catback is a new one from LG, "the Big 3."
