Default ?'s on custom Exhaust System

My buddy works at a Machine shop and we are currently working on a custom Single outlet for my S2. The system is being constructed of full stainless steel. Currently were ar elooking at a 4in tip, with a 5 in round muffler. We will be constructing the muffler in its entirety. We have some baffled screens that will be surrounded with fiberglass and then inserted and welded to a 5 in circular tube. We are thinking of using a 2 1/4 in piping for all the tubing and we will also include the additional muffler/resonator that is upstream (on the second section of the exhaust). I will be constructed the same way as the muffler only it will be a little smaller. The cool part is that were were playing with the steel and the tip, and instead of that blue tip everyone has, it looks like mine will be a Golden bronze. Im so excited no one produces an exhaust that i like to match the Red on my car.

But my question is do you guys belive the 2 1/4 in piping is enough for the exhaust? As far as i understand it should be 50+ milimeters wide. Do you think this will be straight through enough? And what is the second Muffler looking thing that is in all of the pics for aftermarket mufflers? I believe it is the resonator but i am not quite sure. Does any body have any pics of cutaway mufflers that i can use in help of constructing my own? Oh any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Im so freaking excited if nothing else i will have a custom handbuilt exhaust, thats one of a kind. I got the tip sitting right here in front of me and its looks so sweet. I just cant wait...

Heres the pic i was talking about with the secon muffler looking thing. Its the smaller section in the middle. Is it a resonator? and if so would it work if we constructed it with the same principle as the muffler?

why are you choosing 2.5in piping? I sit just a number you picked o is there a reason. Do you think the 2 1/4 would be to small for a single?
