Question about Headers

I currently have a muffler delete and a CAI intake. I'm looking at getting stainless works 1 7/8 long tube headers with high flow cats. In my opinion the muffler delete is too quite but I also don't want it to be over the top loud with Headers. I have a L99 and I still have the massive resonator in place. Anyone run a setup with headers and a muffler delete with the resonator in place?

The mid resonator doesnt do much for volume. It is more to mask the AFM buzz.

You will be too loud. You will hate it. Put a nice set of flowmasters on it and then do the headers

It's all personal opinion.
I have catless 1 7/8 LT's and stainless works retro catback (basically a muffler delete) and I love it. Some people want loud

I have muffler delete and I have been strongly considering this cat back.

Would I be disappointed if I got it? I mean are they really almost the same thing? I like loud but the muffler delete is definitely on the raspy side.

That sounds good. I have my original L99 stock system up in my attic. I'm thinking about having the stock resonator installed leaving my corsa mufflers. I would like to quiet it down some and hopefully make it a deeper sound, little less rasp.

I'll post some videos of my car.
One is when it was running on the dyno, another is just a rev video.
The videos don't do its justice though obviously.
I would say go with the cat back.. You will go from 2.5" to 3" and you also get the x pipe and all that. I wasn't raspy with just the muffler delete. But you will get a little rasp (not too much IMO) when you go Catless. I don't mind it personally.

No. Complete re-do from exhaust manifold back.

I have longtube headers high flow cats and muffler delete but on LS3. First startup was a couple hours ago and I thought it was ALOT louder from people over exaggerating on here. but it soooo awesome.
