Ok looks nice!

Just to clarify, deleting second cats and adding resonators how much increase in noise and aggressiveness does it do by itself? Just want to make sure I'm not doing this for nothing.
It will add some aggressiveness to the sound. You will also be taking some back pressure off if your turbos. You'll probably add 5-10hp by removing the secondary cats.

If you have PE exhaust or the 335is mufflers with the golf tee mod, like I said, it eliminates rasp & drone.

If you have catless down pipes, they will help refine the sound.

X-pipe vs stock H-pipe

2.5" SS X-pipe will make a difference in sound.
