Im looking to drive daily soon and maybe take a road trip. Im 31 years old and I dont want to lose my hearing.

Im looking to run a Vibrant Performance Bottle Style Resonator and A High Flow Cat. I understand it wont be immensely quiet, as I dont want to restrict flow and lose power.

I just need someone to validate my approach. Is this a decent set up? Im looking to purchase these 2.5" in diameter.

Can someone please advise, me. Thanks!

I ran straight catless with my OBX headers, no resonator and a magnaflow with a 4" tip, it was frigging race car loud, like crazy, even trying to be quiet I was loud, no joke. Put in a magnaflow highflow cat and it turned into a superb sounding quiet, unique sounding exhaust. From my experience and theory, you'll only need a resonator is you're running a dual-tip muffler, those are the one that cause the droning.

YouTube channel (Nd4SpdSe) should have a few, but sadly, none of my full straight pipe setup

Well I got to say, just had my exhaust redone with the stock logs back on and wow does it sound much better!!!

Deeper sound, more tone much like the original 1.8L V6 sound and no rasp!! Sweet 6 cylinder eargasmic music!! The ZE purrs like supra with the stock logs...

Butt dyno feels a lot stronger in the low and mid range as well.
I rarely drive over 100 mph, so this is where I favor my powerband anyways.
Everyone has there opinion on what a great sounding exhaust sounds like, but I always liked the 1.8L sound and I have confirmed this can be achieved with a ZE running stock logs...
