Vibrant Exhaust Opinion

I have a 06 2.4L SS/NA and am looking for some opinions on the following exhaust options.
They are the Vibrant stainless header & DP combo along with the Vibrant street power
cat-back exhaust system.
Just wondering if any one has any opinions on this combination.

it's a good set up but the cat-back is only 2.25in. the 3" is just to large for NA cars

I agree 3" for me is to much, I looked at the GMPP cat-back first but the Vibrant is priced better.
For me I think the 2.25" should be OK, better then the stock exhaust.

The stock cat back is 2.5" from the cat all the way to the rear axel. Then from the rear axel back its 2.25". So I wouldent go with a 2.25" all the way through when the stock one is already larger for the majority...Go with a full 2.5"...Just my .02

Thanks for all the input, I think I will go with the vibrant header dp combo and go with either the magnaflow 2.5" catback or the one at Mandrel Exhaust systems site that is stainless 2.5" and uses magnaflow muffler.
Any opinion on which resonator to go with, the magnaflow 14" or the 18"?
