I'm sorry, but I have said that so many times already. The first muffler in place of the cats is a small Magnaflow dual in/dual out. But it seems to be completely useless. I think I'm just going to have to put a cat back in it.
i'd run a cat in the closest to stock location as possible, that magnaflow where the stock resonator was and then the muffler...where the muffler goes.

I feel your frustration, it is not easy to get the sound you want with out buying a mega dollar system( lots of R&D) or copying someone else's setup that you like. I just want to point out that anything you put on that is straight through will not make a big difference unless it's volume is Large. For it's size a cat is pretty effective because it is effectively baffled, but is still a small difference.
If you think your car is loud now, a cat in place of a res will not make it quiet.
What about the larger Dynomax ? That should give you noticeable sound reduction. If that is still not enough, do you have room to put the smaller Dynomax where your res is ?

I would probably have room for the larger Dynomax, but it would require re-working of the pipe going back into my current muffler.
I wonder if one of those small Magnaflow cats shown in the link above would work, welded in-line with the single 3" that goes out of the Y-pipe back to my Dynomax. This small one shown in front of the Borlan, but installed after my small Magnaflow muffler. That would be cheap, and I have a number of friends who could install it pretty easily.

No more mechanical work on the car until my seats are done. I'm borrowing a set of tan leather sports from a friend, and I FUCKING HATE THEM.
