Custom or Cattman?

Hey guys i need some help here you see after i installed my OBX headers i began to notice some rasp come from my exhaust after 3rpms i was told by everyone that its my high flow cat, i also have a ebay catback (Greddy EVOII look alike) however its way too loud,looks like a fart can,did not come with a resonator and doesnt fit properly so i want to now upgrade to a nice 3" however im not sure whether to go custom or for the cattman. The Exhaust shop told me for the piping and labor it will be $500 flat however with the Magnaflow dual tip muffler,Magnaflow tips and Magnaflow resonator (28 x 4) it comes out to $300+ with in total is $800 for everything and i was told the Cattman is $700 so let me hear some opinions please, below are the links for the muffler,tips and resonator

3" Cattman including resonator is around same price. Brian has great product. That's what I would recommend. Of course, it would only be the same price if you installed the system yourself. Everything is bolt in. The Cattman resonator may have to be welded in.

Cattman would be my route.....
The resonator you linked to your thread is a 2.5" in/out, 4" round x 22" length case....
The muffler you linked isn't gonna fit either, the outlet tips on the muffler are to far apart and aren't fit in the rear valance cutout, plus it's a 14" (loud) muffler....Cattman will save you alot of headaches in the long run....

If your spending around the same amount of money in the end, go with cattman. Its a proven product and you will be supporting one of the few great companies that still makes QUALITY products for our vehicles.

Believe me, if I could afford it, I would own every single product that cattman carries. For now, my axle back will satisfy me.

Cattman is custom, therefore you should just go Cattman. All the R&D is already in place. You save yourself time, and in the end money cause it would be worth it.
