my 'rocco is late enough to have one...)

Cool.  That sounds like a good plan to me, then.  :)

Excellent.  I have a follow-up question:  At what point does the exhaust
system change to 2"?  At the outlet of the exhaust manifold? On either end
of the downpipe?  At the outlet of the cat?

make other provisions?  (Please pardon my ignorance on the subject...)
