Mild steel with Lukey mufflers - 1 main one and 2 resonators at the back. For tips I'm going with straight cut twin 3" on each pipe.

yes, the current one is only single 2.5, put on by herrod back in the days when they thought this was the best setup for the 8's. Has the Difil 4 into 1 headers too, so the bigger exhaust should help free it up a bit. That and I've always wanted quad tips, and the only way to get it is a custom system - nobody does an off the shelf twin system for a ute.
