How about a GM big block resonator from the late 60'* early 70'* muscle cars? They are 2.5 diameter, they are probably very free flowing as well.
I want to get rid of mine, if the sound doesn't become too obnoxious
But BusMaster put a Cherrybomb where a resonator would be on his car...he'* liking the results still. Perforated core, free flowing, and works a little like a resonator too.

I belibe we established that you need the resonator in order to avoid a "farty" sound, due to the fact that the mufler is far back in the exhause system. (But I could be wrong)
Yea.. and the cabin drone on most cars without a res is PITA.. I have thought about wackin it but talked to a physics major guy that my bro knows and says that the louver or perforated design actually causes so much distortion in air waves that its like affectively puttin a smaller pipe diameter.. whether its true or not I don't know.. but my bro has a magnaflo res. on his car and it sounds nice.. I think that might be the route I take.
