Default Exhaust Sound

I recently bought a N1 style muffler off of ebay...it has a 2.5" inlet a 4" outlet with a silencer .....i also bought a high flow cat with a 2.5" inlet and a 2.5" outlet ....how is this gona sound with 2.5" pipe?

Also, the guy that is gonna do my exhaust said he thinks my car will sound good if he cuts the resonator off, and i just looked at a post that said if you remove the resonator then it will sound like a pissed off bee....that is exactly what i DONT want....so would it sound better with the resonator or without the resonator?

I drive a 2000 EX Civic with a SRI

Like a pissed off lawnmower. With the resonator on it will sound fine. Go to the stickies in this section and check out exhaust sound clips.
