Default Exhaust size question/x pipe question

Sorry new to the vette thing. I was wondering what size is the stock exhaust . I was under the car and its hard to tell if its 2 1/4,2 1/2,or 2 3/4.
Do any of you know for sure ?? Im ordering mufflers soon and need the size.

Also is there a cheap x pipe (i know noithat will bolt to the factory manifolds and cat back to eliminate the cats.Everything Ive seen you must cut behind the cats and connect the section from there.

the piping is 2.5", everything you see connect behind the cats is because pre cat is a shielded pipe that if you cut you would have loose double pipes inside of each other, you would have to cut right at the flanges and fab up pipes from there back..

Who makes the cheapest bolt on offroad x pipe then?? One that would bolt right up to he manifolds all the way back to the catback connection. Thanks for the help. Now I can order some exhuast parts but is there a way to just gut the cats? They are so far in the pipe i dont know what i would use to breake the ceramic with.
