piecing together a summit 3" exhaust-help with cat (muffler replacement?)

[Mr. Merk]

hey guys, the ol'cat is starting to stink and rattle on the 3.4 and she's getting tired of the looks of her dual exit exhaust she has now (dynomax super turbo with Z28 style tips)

so we saw and heard the summit 3" exhaust the guy with the 3.8 had

we're wanting to ditch the cat entirely but were thinking of (if it sounds crappy) replacing it with another one of summits 3" mufflers (@ $20 you cant go wrong)

any comments or suggestions?

is a cat more or less restrictive than a muffler?

i think she's decided on a magnaflow cat and just redoing her current tailpipes

and just keeping the stock s pipe etc

Yesterday I put on the same exhaust without a cat and it sounds nice, its loud but not annoying. My setup is Pace setters, no cat, 3in mandrel piping all the way back to a 3in in/out summit muffler.
