Stainless TUBING is more common. Pipe and tubing are measured differently. Pipe is measured by ID, tubing is by OD. So a tubing bender won't do well on pipe and vice versa.

Without question you will want a resonator. It will cut the sound down to tolerable levels. If you just run a straight pipe and two rear mufflers, the car will be obnoxious.
