Quick question for you guys, what would be quieter and deeper, a Magnaflow cat or a 10" resonator?

I currently have a 2.5" BRM exhaust with a 22" resonator. It sounded BEAUTIFUL...till I decided to install a header It still sounds nice, but not as deep as before, and it just gets raspy sometimes, not all the time. So I thought, hey why not stick another resonator in there?

Anyways, how much does a Magnaflow cat muffle compared to a 10" Vibrant resonator? Will it be louder or quieter?

This is the resonator I'm talking about:http://vibrantperformance.com/...id=46

I'm also thinking about sticking one of these between the resonator and the muffler, probably after the first bend.

A cat will quiet it the most and it will help global warming.

What brand of header do you have?
