Default Resonator, Hi-flow Cat, and Downpipe?
Is it worth it to delete the resonator, put in a Magnaflow Hi-Flow cat, and i havent heard of any other downpipes except for Hogan so a 3" Hogan Downpipe? I have Flowmaster 44's on the car now, just wondering if the gains or sound will be worth the money?

Minnesota eh? Well I put in a 2.5" zzp downpipe with a hi-flow cat and noticed a difference in response as well as sound.

Ya man, Rochester! They are both relatively cheap, so im thinking about it, instead of just buying a whole cat-back system
