What are the specs on yours? 3inch? Any resonators?

I have beluga racing. It was ~$500 for the turbo back. The cat-back itself i think is like ~$350.
I rode around a couple months only catback and it was nice. Mated perfectly to stock DP. It has 2 mufflers, not sure the brand didnt really look. But it had a deeper tone yet quiet when not on it to much. With just the catback i could get some pops and gurgles if i tried (more so when i wasnt trying lol) The catback by itself was no drone it was just deeper/ a little more basey.
When i put the downpipe on (catless non resonated(so straight pipe)) it gave me lots of pops and gurgle. a good deep idle tone but not to much just enough to know its not stock, cold starts the deep tone its more noticeable. When getting on it and ripping the gears it is loud AF and quite basey but just cruising it has a deep tone not raspy or basey. When you get on it though i will admit it probably would be to basey/vibrationy for some people i dont mind it. I only started to really notice highway drone at about 75-80mph. It isnt to bad until about 85mph+ then its can be a little annoying.
With your catted downpipe though this would probably not be so basey or have as much vibrations as the cat will cut down on that some. Im basically straight piped until the mufflers at the end. Their catback is 2.5" and mates to stock downpipe so as long as your downpipe mates to the stock catback they will be compatible.

Thanks man! I do want a deeper tone more than anything and I️t sounds like to me your setup does that. I could possibly cut out the cat and get the bass sound and more pops and gurgles ?
