Another exhaust setup

Hey all, wondering if anybody else has this exhaust setup, and what they think about it. + pros & cons, of system or specific components

WSP Y-pipe -> Magnaflow Cat 2.5-> Magna Resonator #14415/416 -> Budget B-pipe -> Magna Muffler #14803

Looks like the entire system is 2.5 in, with the exception, maybe, of the 14415 resonator (2.25) vs 14416 (2.5)

Any input greatly appreciated

Headers and GAB FTW....

Even on a DEK IMO headers give good gains. ..

since its a CA I'll probably have to get o2 simulators w/ headers, right? do you think the rest of the setup is going to be too loud? ricey?

Yes IMO it will be loud and ricey. Yes you will need to extend those wires.. but that's for another thread.

true that, do you think using a 2.25 resonator and cat instead of 2.5 will supress sound?

Get headers, Cattman B, and keep the stock muffler.

I have this set-up on my 3.5L( I know you have a DEK) and it sounds good, can't even tell it has aftermarket exhaust.
