Drivetrain Exhaust Tubing Sizes / Custom Exhaust

Exhaust Tubing Sizes / Custom Exhaust
I think I've decided to start cutting up the stock exhaust since ALL4 exhausts are fairly hard to find anywhere (currently). The only one that will be out soon-ish is basically just 2 new mufflers and tips. Sadly, the ALL4 is just cramped for space - I'm giving up hope that we'll ever see a proper downpipe.
I know some of you have messed with the exhaust piping already. What I need to know is if anyone has an idea of the stock exhaust tubing sizes. I'm looking for the following:
1) Tubing size before the Y split to the muffler.
2) Tubing size to each muffler (if different) or muffler ID/OD.
3) Tubing size to each exhaust tip (if different) or tip ID/OD.
I'm planning on chopping those up and adding some 3.5" black tips back there, so I'd like to have all the materials ready before taking it to be welded.
Thanks in advance.

Crap, I take responsibility for the brain fart. I climbed under the car before posting originally and knew full well it was a single big muffler.
However, I've been staring at the new VIP exhaust with the two mufflers for a month now. I guess that took priority in my mind. Getting old is a *****!

I might be wrong, but I think that's not for the ALL4, just as the VIP set is not. Additionally, that's going to be very pricy for all of us over here in the US.
Still hoping that somebody knows the piping size. The people that have switched the tips over probably have some idea of what's needed. Can any of you guys elaborate (if you remember)?

Yes, the drone would be quite bad.
I'm hoping to get the answer to the sizes soon so I can go forward with the muffler removal and re-pipe. I'll be happy to put clips up for you guys on the fence about what to do.
I would recommend against removing that front resonator if you don't care for heavy drone.

I think what I would do is, do a y-pipe from the headers (if their is room to be allowed up there, or if the y-pipe is even needed) into a single 3" pipe with a resonator or 2, depending how quite or loud you want it. Then another y-pipe going to each side of the exits with a muffler in each pipe... and whatever tips you want.
All custom; reasonably priced, depending on the muffler/resonator you buy; lighter than most systems out there, better power to weight; and you can make it sound how you want it to sound for the fraction of the price of most exhausts out there.
