My auto DH does not wheel hop. I’m running a whipple stage 2. It’ll blow the tires off, yes, but it absolutely does not wheel hop.
I’ve wheel hopped older manual mustangs more times than I can count. Any manual mustang I’ve ever driven needed aftermarket suspension upgrades in some form, for sure.

Fixing the P219B should be relatively simple. Finding the vacuum leak, injector, or 02 sensor, etc that is causing the problem will be time intensive, but not impossible; Especially if a shop does the work.
Your car will probably run fine with 1 7/8” catted long tubes on Stage 1, but I’m not a fan of that option. The tune isn’t crazy aggressive, but it’s a lot more heat than stock and lately, a few people on this forum have had Stage 1 Whipples melt their cats. Depends a lot on how you drive and...
If you intend to street drive the car, 1 7/8 long tubes will be more than adequate.
nothing wrong with staying legal and installing cats with the long tubes. I run Kooks 1 7/8 long tubes with no cats. When the time comes for emission, I’ll swap the connection tubes that have cats and go to the...

I don't think you'd be able to take off the paint and polish the tips chrome without significant work.
I had the same question about 1.5 years ago... and I found the answer: https://www.mustang7g.com/forums/threads/paint-type-and-color-for-dark-horse-exhaust-tips.159935/
There are a few S650 dyno results videos for the configurations you're considering. The common conclusion is that deleting the resonator doesn't improve power on an otherwise stock coyote.

Sorry, I didn't answer your question: The dashboard display of IAT didn't change drastically, which is why I data logged to confirm (among other reasons).
I data logged my car (Whipple Stage 2) on October 15. Ambient temperature during the log was 75 degrees F; beautiful day for a short cruise. I started the data log after driving the car calmly for about 10 minutes. Once the data log was started, I drove for another 15 minutes, driving part...
