Making some changes to exhaust, thoughts?

So, I previously posted that I wasn't very happy with my current setup.

So, I am here asking about a few ideas I have and what you guys think (I'm new to this engine/car so be gentle.)

Basically, I have a lot of rasp from the front pipe/catback I have installed. I am planning to add a UEL header to get some of that boxer sound that is missing from the exhaust. I am debating on choice of front pipe.

I am thinking about either the HKS dual resonated or the Berk catted front pipe. There's room on the Berk pipe if I decide to add a resonator. I am also planning to cut the pipe running to the muffler and having a shop weld another resonator in there.

So, do you think triple resonator (2 front pipe, one on catback) or double resonator/cat will provide better sound. I don't care if its crazy loud, don't care if it smells. Just trying to nail down the best sound I can get without having to tear the entire exhaust system off and start over.

Thanks

You don't mention what you currently have.
No one knows what "better" sounds like to you.
Once you add the UEL header, everything changes.
More cats and more resonators = less rasp.
