Default Help with Exhaust

I have a 95 del sol. I was planning on buying skunk2 catback but I heard its better and cheaper to make do a combo for better sound. This is my first time attempting to do a combo of resonator + muffler. I'm planning on putting 2.5'' and mild sound for daily drive, so this is what I was thinking.

Vibrant Performance Resonator - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vibrant-Perf...item45feabb0a1

with

Megan Racing Muffler - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Megan-Racing...item3a6a7eb499

Any advice? also where could I buy those braces that hold the muffler in place?

Do you really think someone can tell you how something sounds by looking at a picture and reading some specs? Sound is too subjective a topic anyway. Go to Youtube and listen to soundclips of all the exhausts you are interested in.

Word of advice? Megan as a whole is crap.

k-teller for piping vibrant/magnaflow/flowmaster/borla/etc. for resonators/mufflers.

when buying a muffler stay away from canister mufflers. like the megan one. oval mufflers are much better for sound quality.

i wouldn't use a megan anything. i imagine for a muffler it'll be loud and raspy as all hell.

What are your priorities for this exhaust? Are you willing to sacrifice 1-2 hp for a more mellow sound note?
