It's going to be loud and raspy. I found my nameless 5" muffler axle back and catted front pipe to be too loud after going with catless jdl uel. Had to switch back to OEM axle back.

O2 sensors are a bit pricey to buy spares. Mine came out no problem. Dropped the header off the car first, with O2 sensors still in, then used a wrench with a long handle to get them out.

So if you only have 700 total to play with, you may be better off...
