Unanswered: Dual tip resonator replacement

Anyone have some slick exhaust done to eliminate the resonator? I took mine off 2 years ago and did some cheap exhaust work with a single tip...I don't like it, and wondered if anyone had some custom stuff done, or even a bolt up to replace it.

This is a system I had made up many years ago that worked quite well. The muffler was a Walker dual outlet, from a Triumph TR6 IIRC. It had a nice tone, although I would now use nicer resonator-style tips and perhaps a bit larger pipe. The pipe is 1 3/4" connected to the original down-comer which is 1 5/8" OEM. I am thinking of installing a flexible joint at the Y-connector at the end of the down-comer, then 2" to the muffler, and since it is a dual outlet, leave it 2" (versus the recommended 2 1/4") over the axle to a pair of resonator tips.
