Default Cat-back question

Honda accord EX 2.4 L
K24a4
right now i have a CAI installed and im working on my exhaust system. i plan on doing a cat-back exhaust system with the stock cat, dose it matter what size inlet i get for the muffler? the one im getting has two different inlets, 2.5' and 3.0, should i just go with the 3.0' and the shop will do the piping just fine or dose it have to match the in and out size of the cat?

here is a link to what muffler im getting

also dose anyone have any feed back on that muffler? i dont want an annoying loud fart cannon but a nice deep sounding muffler and i beleave this twin loop is the way to go, what do you all think?

Your exhaust is only going to flow as good as its smallest point... What size is the inlet/outlet of cat?

instead of getting a high flow cat just puncture a hole completly through your cat cuz high flow cats on a 2.4L sound like dooo. just a heads up.

lol good luck finding a shop who will work on your car w/o a cat converter...let alone asking them to remove one.
