Combine that with the quieter Magnaflow dual/dual muffler and I will have spent WAY too much money on this.

To answer your question - YES - it's fine to reduce past the X. Dr. Gas even makes a reducer X. However, with the angles Dr Gas uses, I doubt you'll be able to use it. Magnaflow makes a pretty nice 'tandem' X, but it's probably too big for you to use where you need it...
You may have to have one made to fit right - in 3", then reduce to 2.5" to the rest of your system. Not sure how big of a difference it will make either, since there still is so much plumbing behind it.

I blew my SLP DD appart on the dyno, the muffler packing material plugged up the air/fuel sensor. Judjing by this I would guess it to be a restrictive muffler. I put a cheap Hooker Aero chamber back on the car to finish the tuning. With the Hooker muffler and the 3" cut out it made one extra horse power and lost four foot pounds, I would say thats pretty impressive.

Also, SLP's D/D muffler is indeed one of the best-flowing on the market, so don't worry about it.
