You don't want to delete your cat. Since you're still learning, I'll give you some advice. Use a high flow cat if you want more flow, but you won't see that great of gains if you're motor is only bolt-on.

so it would be:

header -> high flow cat -> mid piping -> resonator -> more piping -> muffler

cats dont restrict flow, wish i knew where that thread was on this form, it showed how the car got a whopping 1hp gain without the cat. So save the earth and sacrifice that 1hp.

donttttt run a resonator if you are getting a magnaflow.....
I just got a magnaflow straight through 2.5 inch inlet/2.5 inch outlet and just 2.5in. pipes back to the cat, with a 4.5in tip on the magnaflow and it sounds amazing, not like a ricer rocket, it sounds good....I didnt put a resonator on, and its not tooo loud, its good

you don't need 2 resonators if you are gunna use a hks muffler at the end, just one will do just fine
