1. Race Muffler- suggestions?
2. Secondary Cat Delete
3. Resonator delete.

Which one will give the most OEM+ feel without being obnoxiously loud?

(OEM+ loud to me means something like what the current oem muscle cars put out in terms of decibels)

What are the key trade offs between option 2 and 3? (Secondary cat vs resonator?)
If you're looking for oem+ I'd just keep the dinan muffler and remove the resonators or secondary cats first. If you remove one and you still want it a bit louder remove both. The dinan muffler does a good job at keeping low rpm sound level quiet while making it louder up top. The downside so a lot of race mufflers is they'll tend to drone which is not really Oem+. You can have a decently loud exhaust without drone which will mean if you want to just cruise around and be quiet you can as long as you'd lower in the rpm range.
