Default PPE headers with muffler delete

I tried doing a search with no luck. Is anybody running PPE headers with the stock mid pipe to a muffler delete?

you're probably not finding anything because it doesn't make a lot of sense to run headers with the stock midpipe. headers get rid of the first cat, and the mid pipes have the secondary cats. why get rid of the important cat while keeping the not-so-important ones? if you're going through the trouble of opening up the exhaust system, might as well open everything up.

The reason why is because I LOVE how the muffler delete only sounds. I think that the stock mid keeps the drone down and keeps the car sounding clean and quiet under normal driving but screams at WOT. I just want the same sound and tone but louder.

you can keep the muffler delete, but most would recommend going with a catless mid pipe, but yes, that would drone like mad

Yeah I would never go THAT extreme. Maybe a custom X with mid mounted mufflers would work well with the muffler delete axleback. So many options...
