Leave the stock cats on the car and run a K&N drop in air filter. I feel that this combination will keep the noise level right where you want it and maximize your performance given the mods that will be on the car...

Thanks, Tony
Tony actually spoke with me at length on this subject on the phone. I totally wasn't expecting that! Basically he told me to hold off on the HFC's until I install the CBE and listen to how it sounds first and if it's acceptable to me THEN get an HFC.

Also Tony was misinformed, I currently do not have HFCs on my car. Another thing, I'm not looking for whisper quiet, I know it will be louder and that's fine for me. I've driven 4-cyl turbo engines with full TBE systems, so I can take a bit of noise. I just wanted to be able to carry on a conversion either with a passenger or on bluetooth whether at idle or at highway speeds without having to talk over my exhaust. Since I primarily work from my car it would be crippling if I had to do so. Imagine having to yell over the phone to a client over your droning exhaust. Wouldn't go over too well, lol.

Edit: BTW +1 rep to Tony for going above and beyond.
