Please Someone Help Me Out

ive been lost trying to finish my exhaust on my 2013 ge8 so far ive done 2 inc piping from the first cat back I removed the secondary cat and resionator all lead to the stock muffler should I remove the stock muffler for a bolt on muffler delete straight pipe or keep the muffler just seems so restrictive even more so cause I removed the second cat i feel it needs to breathe better since air is flowing better and sound wise im not worried cause no matter what I did this car will never be as loud as the civic si or gsr out there with headers ive owned a 99 gsr with dc headers and type r exhaust now that's some vtec noise

I feel it needs to breathe better since air is flowing better and sound-wise I'm not worried because no matter what I do this car will never be as loud as the Civic si or GSR out there with headers. I've owned a 99 GSR with dc headers and Type R exhaust. Now that's some vtec noise!
The Tanabe Medallion Touring is my choice for muffler replacement.

I vote straight pipe no resonator. Get rid of the first cat too while you're at it. The noise doesn't bother you right, so that's the best performing combo.

That is what I have and it took less than 30 mins to complete the job once I sprayed WD40 in the rubber hangers. The fit and finish are perfect.
