So I decided, after talking to my tuner and installer, Livernois Motorsports, Kooks, 1 3/4" with high flow cats. Thanks for all the discussion guys and the entertainment.

Good luck Jimmy, I understand Kooks fit is really good. Going with a coating? I'd also suggest heat insulation. When it's my turn, I'll install a stiffer tunnel plate for track days. Still don't know if I'll go with ARH or Kooks though, definitely 1-3/4. I think we'd like to know how your project turns out.

I will report, although Livernois tells me they are 6 weeks out on installs right now. What coating should I ask for? In the old days we just wrapped the headers with furnace tape. (asbestos tape). Sure to call out the hazmat team these days.

LGs are a perfect fit and can be installed with the car on jack stands. I know it can be done because I did it.

Wow, that's serious. So you could supercharge your vette for less $$$$ than you have in a shotgun.

Why have just one of any gun? We keep important papers in my safe also and my wife has ask me what is she going to do if something happens to me? I told her she would have to call a locksmith.
