The muffler you are putting on is what is causing your back pressure the size of the tubing really is just giving you the resonance after that really. I welded my new exhaust on and honestly I had to trim a few inches off on my 4 door to make everything fit up nicely and sit on the stock hangers nicely. The 2 door im sure you could make it fit just fine if you are even semi handy with a cut off wheel and then clamp or weld it all up.

There are plenty of other options but most all regardless of who makes them will need a bit of love to make them fit perfect no matter what.
seriously ?? if i spend 300+ on something i dont want to have to modify it to fit !
are the hangers even in the same locations from the 2 to 4 door ?

hell if i have to cut and weld something thats off the shelf - ill go have a system custom bent for a hell of a lot less !

I would say be prepared with ANY system you buy to need to cut a bit or bend some to make it fit perfect. Looks like someone posted up the 2 door system might wanna give that a try. I think you would have a really hard time finding someone to build you up a full stainless 3 inch system from the resonator back up over the axle with attachment to the stock hangers for anywhere near what you would pay for one of these systems.
