170/6 build plus questions!

Thanks RRR, in reference to the to the dual exhaust thought, the way you described it is what I envisioned as the opening on my split manifolds are 2", my Y is a flowmaster, 2-2" pipe into 2.5 pipe then connect that to the rest of my current TTI exhaust and sell my 2.5 head pipe.

I think that would be the best idea. Also, I would be interested in that TTI head pipe, as I want one to modify for the 170. I already have one and I was going to leave it as is for a later possible 225 swap.
