High-flow cat would get you a little more sound and more flow.

Be careful. Not having a muffler is illegal in some states.

I don't think there's a muffler out there that's louder than straight pipes. If you have to use a muffler, a flowmaster 10 is about as small as they make. If you've gotta use a cat, get a high flow one. Headers will increase the volume as well as the round style Air intake. I believe there might be one for sale around here...

No cat although not sure that that would be legal in any state in the US. However I have a Flowmaster 40 which is not the loudest but still fairly loud. Anyway when I replaced my factory cat with a Magnaflow hi flow one it did get a bit louder. Not a ton but a bit.
