Default Problem After Gutting Cat

I have a EG si hatch...

I was putting my dc sports 4-1 header on and i noticed my stock cat was clogged..so i gutted my cat and after putting my header on my apexi n1 catback sound like shyt...Its way way louder at WOT (which i expected) but if i get a hi flo cat or just another stock cat will this fix my problem or is it the header making it sound like that?

don't gut your cat! Get a hi-flow or a test pipe. With the cat gutted you aren't getting smooth airflow.

yeah gutted cats suck ***** and won't add any horsepower. Go with a resonated testpipe or a high-flow cat.
