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.

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
