I have a 2001 z28 and im looking to buy a set of longtubes for my car. The only mods i have done to my car include Slp Cold air intake, Slp MAF sensor, and Hooker Cat-back exhaust. Should I get 1-3/4" or 1-7/8"? Should I get TSP or Hooker?

1-7/8" is what most people are going to say. You lose virtually nothing if anything on the low end and you'll gain up top over 1-3/4", plus 1-7/8" is better for future mods. TSP is stainless and a good price so I'd go for those. I would have done TSP myself but I opted for spending the extra $$ and got ARH because at the time TSP didn't have a stainless y-pipe, but now it is stainless

ARH or Kooks, can't really go wrong with either of those.
ARH/Kooks > TSP > Pretty much everything else
