suggestions, getting hedmans, or maybe hookers for now

in the process of researching headers, and wondering who all has used hedman hed-98476, anyone ever use these and the hedman y-pipe part # hed-14740. Ive read some post that say the y-pipe is 2.5 all the way, and others that its 2.25 to 2.5 at the ends where it connects to the cat.

also thinking about the hooker 2460 ceramic coated, but the y-pipe is 100 more then the hedmans, but everything on them says there 2.5 all the way on the y-pipe

basically, i want the biggest y-pipe i can get from the factory, with out wasting my money on the slps, any one got any tips or advice, ive already checked out the sticky's

You just described Hooker 2055's.

Assuming it's an aftermarket factory, that is...
