Default Replacing the H-pipe questions...

I have a few of questions about replacing my H-pipe for an X-pipe.
What's the OD of the h-pipe inlets?
Will it be change in performance by doing this?
Can you go x-pipe and still keep the cats?

What I want to get is NOT a "full" x-pipe, but just the cross section area as shown in the picture below. In order for me to order it, I need to know what diameter to order the dual inlets: 2.25" 2.5" or 3" to fit my stock exhaust system on my 02 Z06
I plan on ordering the LG Street Headers that can be purchased without the x-pipe for $695. The X-pipe below is only $85.00 if I go 3" but I don't know what size fits
Thanks for your help
