I picked up my new, never installed LG 1 3/4 longtubes (ceramic coated) with hi-flow cats for $1200.

From a vendor or another member? Like I mentioned in the first post I was leaning towards the Stainless Works Header back system. Byun has them on sale for $2100. I just don't run into fitment problems mix-matching manufacturers. This is my first GM and first Vette so I'm extremely wet behind the ears still when it comes to what to get.

I'd just pick up the headers that you can get the best deal on.

I wouldn't hold my breath for those. Again, research twice, purchase once.

If you plan on big cubes or FI the 1 7/8 might be your choice. That said, I don't think most people will see gains over the 1 3/4.
