Default headers, mid pipe, and no cat back?

As the title says. I am soon going for my headers nd mid pipe. I already gots trd catback but may want to go a different route and have it sound quiet. Like I just want the intake sound. I'm not an expert when it comes to back pressure nd so on. So here are my questions


Would ii lose power if I have headers. Mid pipe nd stock cat back

Would it still make a louder noise

Or should I just get a universal muffler? (Not the ricer crap)

Thanks

xD + Less Backpressure = Bye Bye Fuel Economy

from what I assume, I could be wrong.... I'm no expert.

I'll prolly go with 2 resonators .. that's what ii heard ppl do for quiet sound. But also heard it kills a few horses

Best route honestly, only thing I have seen resonators have trouble with is getting rid of the rasp you tend to hear at high RPM loads. But unless you drive around with the tech reading 5K I doubt that will be a problem.
