GO 2" FROM EXTRACTORS TO A RESINATOR THEN 2.5" TO A LUKEY MUFFLER AND 3"TIP OFF THE MUFFLER.

THAT WOULD LOOK AND SOUND SICK.
IF YOU CAN GET STAINLESS STEEL TUBING CAUSE IT SOUNDS HEEPS BETTER THAT MILD STEEL.

staino is a bit more pricey than mild steel

That sounds like a stupid and pointless setup to me. Why restrict the flow until after a resonator? Most systems I have seen (and run) don't have widely varying diameters, if anything the larger diameter is closest to the headers.

Example, I am running 2 1/4" all the way through until a hotdog on the tail, with a 3" exit. This passes through a Redback muffler. Lukey is just a name, as is anything else like Remus, for bragging rights.

I don't agree that stainless steel sounds better, it tends to produce more upper end frequencies, resulting in a tinnier sound. I am running mild steel, it is cheaper and gives a fatter sound, like a real car.

The question is; do you want to sound like a real car or a poofy rice-mobile?

Cheers
