Default Will I Have Enough Back Pressure

If i run my 2" inch tube into two tubes with two 1" inch tubes.... the tube will go into the muffler which will have a 1" aluminum or stainless steel tube with a ton of little holes in it, surrounded by stainless steel wool with fiberglass packing around it.... all of it will be inside a 2"x2" aluminum square tube.... and then out the outlet...... will i have enough back pressure..... thats 1/2" of stainless steel wool and fiberglass combined..... or do i need to go with a bigger aluminum tube?

Maybe you just use your old system's dimensions? Or this one is going to be completely different? Don't see the reason why it would though.

here is a quick picture i made up..... basically my two inch mid pipe y's off into two 1" goes into the canister made of a 2" aluminum square tubing..... alot of holes will be put in the 1" tubing throughout the canister.... then the tube would exit the canister and be slash cut (i didnt draw that part it) the portion of tube with the holes in it would be wrapped in 1/2" of stainless steel wool and then fiberglass exhaust packing... im curious if that would create enough back pressure.... or do i need to go with bigger square aluminum tubing.... say 3 or 4".... also i mentioned something to my buddy and he said i may not need to reduce down to two one inch because of the venturi effect... i could possibly run two 2" tubes instead of 1"? anyone have opinions on that...... here is the pic

Dude relax and have a sense of humor. I'm following this thread becasue I want to know where it's going. I'm also keeping at at the top.

Anyhow sounds like it could work. I havent taken classes on fuels yet so I don't know much about airflow patterns and pressures. What does everyone else think?
