Custom Catback Magnaflow need advise / suggestions.

[Who]

Well my stock cat back is rusted out bad. The muffler, pipe and resonator all look like swiss cheese and are starting to rattle. Money is tight and I cannot afford a 3" elbow or 3" downpipe at this time. I want the exhaust to be quiet with minimal highway drone under normal acceleration or cruise. My car is a 89 turbo stock (7mgte). My local muffler shop uses magnaflow and flowmaster products so here is what I plan to do.

1. Factory stock downpipe.
2. 3" catback pipes with a magnaflow muffler #12198 (single 3" in / dual 2.5" out) and a magnaflow resonator.
3. No Catalytic, non wanted, no smog inspections in Florida.

For now in place of the Cat I was going to replace it with a test pipe that mates up to the new 3" catback and to the 2.5" stock downpipe. This would allow me to upgrade to a 3" downpipe and mate it up to the 3" catback in the future. It would also give me the option to put a catalytic back in if ever needed.

Need your suggestions and advice. Newb mind at work here. Thanks

Pacesetter also sells an OEM like replacement exhaust system for when yours rusts out (like mine did), it's probably the cheapest one out, somewhere around $150.00-$200.00

Here's one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Pace...003QQitemZ130207618371QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWD1V

3-2.5" dual tip? Turbo? I would recomend magnaflow's 3" straight through to a 4" single tip. Beautifully polished muffler, excellent performance, and not loud, just deep and rumbly. Stock downpipe is ok, I would recomend hollowing it out for massive performance gain on a budget... and don't worry about a resonator. Waste of time, money, and the incredible head-turning sound of your 7m.

Add a long resinator, Removing the cat will definitely louden it up.

I have a 3" turbo-back exhaust, BIC downpipe, cat, and single Magnaflow muffler and it is fairly loud. I don't mind it at all, but it does boom and drone inside the cabin at cruising speeds and its most definitely loud outside the car!

Really, I did not know that the cats muffled the sound
