Default UPDATED: My current set-up, no CAT CONVERTERS!!!!

Ok so I've searched and searched but now I want EVERYONE's opinion on this... Just to start off, I have no intake as of right now AND WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT if someone helped me out with which one to get, Injen or MMW? Now for the set up!

Alphawerks
ZPI S-Pipe
Megan Mid-pipe (two small resonators came with it)
HKS Hi-Power muffler

Now the car has no CATs and it is REALLY loud... The sound is kind of deep but is still raspy at some points. Some could even say the rasp is worse but it's not, just a lot louder like everything else.

So what do you guys think? Should I get two 18" Magnaflow resonators installed? And also help me out PLEASE, should I switch out my Alphawerks and ZPI for MMW?

UPDATE!!!: ALright, so I've decided to stick with my current set up and just got in two 18" resonators today. The sound is down by AT LEAST 50% and the rasp is gone by 90%. You can hear it subtly when I step on it, but it's not as noticable as before, hell it might not even be noticable now... I think the car still sounds sick and it's just as powerful!!! My next mod is the Injen intake and Kaminari carbon fiber (non-adjustable) spoiler!!!!

Keep the alphawerks header and zpi s-pipe.... no point in changing to MMW.

As far the rasp, adding those resonators will definately help out a lot!

And for the intake, i'd go with Injen.

I think if you put a high flow cat between the 2 resonators you should be fine.
