Default Hi Flow Cat and resonator?

I am planning on getting the skunk2 muffler for my tc. Its the universal one. (im having a local shop do the pipes to save $$$) my question is, with the after market muffler and new pipes do I want/need a resonator, hi flow cat, or both? im not concerned about hp gains. its a 4cyl. and will always be a 4cyl no matter what you try to put on it lol so i just want deeeeeeeep sound. no rasp

get a glass pack. worked great on my tsudo header/mid pipe/trd exhaust. Knocked out 90% of the rasp.

known to reduce it. they target different sound waves then a resonator so they take out more of the higher pitched rasp while still letting the deeper tone go through.

If you're keeping your stock header on, you don't need a highflow cat.
Also, with the stock header...you dont really deal with much rasp.
A resonator would probably quiet it down a bit...I guess it matters how loud you want it to be.

Go with Dezod header and you'll get the hp gains you want, with a high flow cat. Probably the best sounding header on the market too.
