1 7/8 for sure, also with that small diameter of an exhaust i would run dual cut outs for the track. or drop the coin on a 4" mufflex system and FM merge.

Won't you lose a bunch of N/A torque with 1 7/8"? I would say 1 3/4" with cut out right after the merge.

^no...he is running slightly bigger cubes, more compression, and a shot. the bigger diameter headers and i-pipe will shift the power/torque curve up higher, especially when the cut out is open. when closed the GMMG cb should increase exhaust velocity and shift some power and torque back down low for street driving.

I believe Tick performance makes 3", 3.5", and 4" stainless cutouts.
