Default CTR catback with high flow cat. Robbing of power?

I am curious as to HT members thoughts on running a CTR catback exhaust system. When I say CTR catback I am speaking about the OE japanese exhaust system that is only available on the CTR.
I am wondering what the power restraints and losses would be, also I am wondering if it would be restricting to the point that it would harm the performance of a motor.

Currently:

I am running a B16A2 with:

Skunk2 cams, intake mani, cam gears
DC USDM 4-1 header
with a 2.5 inch piping after the bottle neck and a 30" glass pack with an APEXi N1 muffler

Currently the car is making 164 on this set up, but this is my daily driver and I would almost prefer stock sounding exhaust system without killing power.

Let me know what you guys think about this move. I was also looking at the RSR ex mag catback as well.

Let me know guys! Thanks

For the sake of looking, sounding, an being ignorant, what is this? I am imagining that it is an exhaust system. But any more info to enlighten me would be greatly apprieciated.

thanks for the quick response!

yeah the fujitsubo would be nice, but are you looking to spend 800 dollars on it? plus you need a jdm cat. anyways about your question, it would flow less then your current setup, but wouldnt be bad with a mild setup like yours, im guessing you have skunk2 stage 1's. i would go with the ctr, looks better and sounds better
