I have to agree with N2omike in that 3" piping from the header flange and through the Race Bullet would have been perfect. Unfortunately (????) my swap headers tuck up tight against the floor pan and aim right at the transmission support brace that is part of the driveshaft tunnel. This necessitates some serious bends which would be almost impossible to accomplish with 3" piping. That doesn't mean I won't revisit that area again in the future since I enjoy a good challenge every now and then.
Again, thanks.

Great write up Dennis.... I had the same problem trying to run 3 inch pipes off my 6208 Hooker headers which are very tight to the floor...Luckily there is a local exhaust guy who does very good work...He managed to bend/flare and cut/weld the pipe to get it to dip under the trans crossmember and mate back to the header without really having much of a bend in it (see arrow)..My whole system is 3 inch including tailpipes..I used "band clamps" at the mufflers which work great..They are easy to remove and don't crush the pipes at all so you can get them apart.
