There's gotta be another alternative!
I can tell you right now if you stick with a 2.5" mid pipe without resonators there's going to be a lot of rasp going on. Not only that, the drone will be crazy. Two options; 1. Have a mid pipe made up without resonators and then use exhaust (header) wrap to eliminate some of the drone and rasp. 2. Have a mid pipe made up with resonators (still will have a little rasp depending on the resonators you use).

I'm actually going to be doing exhaust cutouts on my Invidia Gemini. They will go on right after the resonators and the X-pipe. It should keep that VQ sound, just a lot louder and deeper.
