Both if your going for sound. The only cat u can remove without throwing a CEL is the center one.

How about some info of your car?

If its OBD1, You wont throw a code. I have full 3in on N/A from the headers back and 1 resonator in there for crackling and I'll just say its LOUD even withh resonator.. i'll try to get a decent camera and video tape it soon.

if your car is turbo'd then go w/ straight pipe. my car has a 3" straight pipe from downpipe to muffler. surprisingly not that loud at all.
