Default Which CAT 100 vs 200 cell?

Hey guys, need some expert advise/opinion. After i have changed my turbo/headers/up-pipe it has made my exhaust sound tinny (which i hate soo much and sounds embarrassing and too LOUD) due to it being cat-less as the previous owner removed it. Correct me if i am wrong?

So i need some suggestions on which Brand/ 100 or 200 cell High Flow CAT i should go for?

so far i am leaning towards Magnaflow Brand. If there is other better Brands out there let me know. Or any one know a exhaust place that would do it for ~$150 price range (supplying the CAT and fitting) that would be great!

Cheers

running no CAT cant be that loud...

you want a high cell number... the lower the number the more flow = more louder the car gets

also if that doesnt solves it get a long hotdog resonator and oval muffler

i dunno why your exhaust sounds tinny cat-less, i'm running 1 200 cell cat and everything else besides the muffler is straight through and it doesn't sound tinny

100 cell won't pass emissions testing afaik so you're better off just running it catless

i strongly agree with jesters suggestion
