I am buying a magnaflow muffler with a 2.5" ID inlet. Will 2.25" ID inlet tips fit? Magnaflow only has 1 tip that is 2.5" ID and it is the Tanabe and I dont care for the looks.

The whole exhaust system is not 2.25" It varies from 2 to 2.25" The secondary cats for example in the mid pipe have a 2" diameter pipe going into the cats and 2.25" leading out of the cats. I also believe the stock piping going into the mufflers is 2" as well. Even Tanabe uses 2" until it merges into the flange where it connects to the stock resonator."

I just ordered two of these 12" resonators to replace my straight pipes where the secondary cats were. I have this slight resonance around 3300rpm only while the engine is under load that probably wouldn't bother most people but man I must be getting old and just won't accept it. I'll let you guys know how the new resonators work out.
What do you think in my case doing the full custom dual would make the best gains? If I put an x-pipe in place of the the secondaries, or got these resonators?

I just received those 12" resonators yesterday and they look beautiful and only weigh 2.5lbs each. Unless I get a better idea for an exhaust or a new one comes out with promise I'll probably have these installed in 2 weeks.

x-pipe in place of the secondary cats and put some resonators on between the mufflers and the x pipe.

Speaking of custom exhausts, saw a post on youtube yesterday from a muffler shop called Kinneys Muffler Shop and the exhaust looks beautiful. Only problem is it sounds awful and the x pipe could be better. Throw on some resonators before the mufflers. and upgrade the x-pipe to something like the Burns one and it would be perfect.
