Default TD's. A Few Questions..

Ive decided to fab a true dual system for the camaro after doing some research on quite a few exhaust systems. I can purchase everything needed for circa 300 dollars excluding the price of headers. This car is a everyday driver so i dont intend to be putting headers on anytime soon.

The plan is to drop down from the manifolds, into an x, through mufflers, over the axel into slp dual center exit exhaust tips w/the small rear valence.

I plan to buy all madrel bends and ss pipe. I have my own welder and am fairly competent at welding. If push comes to shove, i have access to a mechanic and his shop so getting the job done should'nt be a problem.

The question is..
1.resonators or mufflers (i plan to go with magnaflow either way)
and..
2.Cats / No cats
3.what size pipe... 2.25in, 2.5in, or 3in

I would forget about the 2.25" pipe although many people on here have single 3" which is the same. I would do dual 3". No cats unless you have to comply with emissions testing. Mufflers, not resonators. I like the spiral flow mufflers by moroso.
