As already mentioned you would need an 8 sided socket (9/16 ?) and would trust this method over an open end wrench since it is not moving. Try some penetrating oil then heat. Work it back and forth. Once off, the trans lube should be level with the bottom of the fill hole. When reinstalling marginal tight is good enough.

My choice would be some 1 7/8 Sanderson intermediates,if you want something that will give maximum ground clearance. Don't understand why you don't want stainless headers,as it seems like funds aren't a problem. Stainless Works can build you a pair of 1 3/4,1 7/8,or 2 tubes that will tuck up tightly for around $600. Heck,a pair of Sandersons will cost over $500.
