Ok. So at this point I've gotten that I should use a 2.25" Stainless or Aluminized straight pipe, possibly weld it or clamp it in from the rear axle back, and bend the tip at a 45 degree angle towards the ground to avoid soot on the bumper.
What I didn't get is:
1. Where do you go to get the 2.25" straight pipe, Stainless Steel or
Aluminized?
2. How loud does it get over 3000 rpm inside the car? Is it
deafening? Are the vibrations like sitting on the washer during spin
cycle?

Is it bearable? What do your girlfriends/wives say when
they are in the car and you are speeding down the highway over 3000
RPM?
3. Also, will it or will it not affect the emmision factor? I live in a state,
Delaware, that checks for emmissions. They plug a computer in my car
and do some sort of test and I think because i have a diesel I have
passed. How is getting a straight pipe and no muffler going to affect
this sort of test and the results? Any hard evidence or real life
examples out there?
4. Finally, how have you guys gone about convincing the Muffler shop
mechanics to do this for you? I can't imagine walking into a shop
holding a stainless steel pipe in one hand and trying to explain to the
mechanic what I want to do. It sounds like the guy will either give me
a blank stare or fall on the floor laughing. What's the best way to go
about doing this? Thanks in advance!
