Default Age old Question....

Everything in my sig, fabricating a 2.5 true dual set up. should I go with either high flo Cats (more expensive) and no muffler OR no cats and use bullet mufflers? (Cheaper) or any other high flow mufflers? if anyone has any ideas..right now on my stock exhaust I have no muffler and an old high flo cat, and I notice the gain when I took the muffler off. Not really worried about inspections but if anyone was to be nosey...

If you don't have to pass emissions, why would cats even be considered?

So bullet mufflers? Any specific brand? and I like the loud rumble from the exhaust with no muffler, but with headers and new exhaust, I'm sure it would be a little to alot louder... so my thinking is... buy new cats, like i have on now and stick with no mufflers or have no cats and don't have that loud grumble with mufflers. I dunno lol just figuring out where the performance is...no muffler or no cats

Cats are going to be more restrictive and much more expensive. I run dynomax bullets and I love them another options is Moroso Spiral flows

Im going to be running Borla Pro XS mufflers on my 3 inch setup. But I need my car to be quieter. If i wasnt worried about noise I would run Sweet Thunders
