So I gather from your photos, if I were to use the AR25 as a precat, I would have to fab up a flanged pipe from the header to the resonator, then into the main cat. from there, out to 2 pipes into the glass packs, then stock tips welded onto the cherry bomb. Sound about right?
The AR25's are too big to use as a pre-cat. They have a 2.5" inlet and outlet. Use the AR20 instead. A 2" header pipe is an "upgrade" since the stock header pipes are about 1 3/4" anyway (svxfiles has the exact measurements on this)

You also need that same 2 " pipe that exits the AR20's to go into the new Magnaflow main cat.

Look in svxfiles locker HERE

These are photos of the exhaust system he did on Harry Newman's "newsvx" 1992 pearlie. It is basically the exact same exhaust that I have from the main cat forward. Start at photo 40.
