If you aren't happy with any of the premade catbacks available, why don't you make your own catback? There is a wide variety of mufflers, tip, piping, etc. to choose from that will make your setup look and sound how you want it to.

You're not necessarily doomed with a larger muffler as long as you tuck it up under the car. If you don't have a rear lip, however, I probably wouldn't do it though.

I wanted 3" or 3.5" tips when I was looking originally, but ended up with Magnaflow. I compromised on the 4" tips because it didn't have huge mufflers. 4" tips sound bigger than they are, especially since the tip is cut at an angle. These don't look that big imo, or maybe I'm just use to them lol.

Now don't take this the wrong way but its a way over priced glamour school
its just a legal scam in my eyes 26g starting price just to finish school and make 8-12 starting
Auto fields are to competitive now a days especially in Houston well experienced people are willing to work for less because of the fact they have a job
don't get me wrong my passion for vehicles is up there
i just can't make enough in tha field to provide for a family or live the way i want to

summary-
Im a uti hater
u-urinary
t-track
i-infection
they really get u by tha balls for a truly painfull experience

well iv taken full advantage of it and am still in school making 10 till i graduate and that job is at sewell infiniti through the school, and am about to be working on my certified mercedes credentials through the school (the mercedes MSAT) and have been offered 18 coming out of that program so im completely satisfied with what iv gotten out of it, i respect your opinion on it but this has been my experience with UTI and so far its been totally worth it iv been workin on cars my whole life and have learn alot from it, ur a previous student so you know how in depth they go into alot of the newer systems

2.25-3" piping. Keep the cat, two resonators, and a muffler of choice.

Good option if you have the resources or are willing to get it put together.
