Default custom catback set up

I just wanted your guys opinions. I will be getting a b18b swap in my 93 coupe and would like a nice sounding exhaust, not a rasspy killer bee sound. So far I have megan racing headers and a megan racing muffler N1 style "2.5" inlet. I will be getting a 2.5in exhaust piping, and wanted to know if I can/should use my stock cat or get a cheap ebay resonator w/ flanges and add another resonator?

I like the exhaust sound on this civic http://www.we-todd-did-racing....DE%3D

Get a 2.5" catback with a resonator. Keep the stock cat if it still works

im pretty sure if I run a straight pipe from headers back its going to be waaay to loud for me and probably raspy too.

2.5 keep your cat and no resonator just straight pipe with a weld on muffler stainless. I have a number one muffler I think it's a nopi brand on my ls swap it's deep and performance sounding . it's loud enough that you know it's there but doesn't give you a headache like running no cat. I think it cost me 110 dollars for a custom 2.5 catback and like a 100 for the muffler. so 210 catback not bad.

I guess it wont hurt to try using the stock cat w/ out a resonator. If its too loud I can always get one put on later.
