I love my magnaflow muffler. when I put the turbo on there wasn't any buzzing like every other honda with a muffler. even without the turbo it sounded good except when I got on it real hard. The best sounding exhaust out there for a honda I think. The best part about it it when you are just cruzing it doesn't drone inside the cabin. nice and quiet.

you won't need a resonator unless you're going for super sleeper status. And don't bother with buying a resonator in specific if you do, just use a cherrybomb turbo straight through thing--they are cheap as ---- and sound sweet

As for the muffler, I had the single 2.5" inlet/outlet on my old turbo'd b16 hatch. Sounded great, very quiet (a little too quiet for me, I like to cause a ruckus ), nice deep tone and no rasp. I think you'll like it.
Cats overheat and die from overly rich conditions, not from running lean.

Fouled plugs can cause unburned fuel to overheat the converter and melt the catalyst to a solid mass. If the O2 Sensor is not functioning properly it will give the ECU incorrect readings of exhaust gasses. The faulty sensor can cause an excessively rich or excessively lean condition. If the mixture is too rich, the catalyst can melt down. If the mixture is too lean, the converter is unable to convert the hydrocarbons into safe elements.

And cat's usually melt solid from lean conditions. I should know, I have quite a few collecting in my garage that are melted solid from running mid 12's to 13's afr's under high boost. And if overly rich conditions does what you say to a cat, why do most stock boosted cars run down to the 10's afr's under full boost? My Evo was a case in point when I first bought it, 19psi with a 10.4 afr. Not to mention my Wrx that had 3 cats and still ran a mid 10's to low 11's afr.

No cat is the way, but if you really have to have one for inspection/emissions purposes I'd suggest making a section of the exhaust a "test pipe" section so you can swap the cat in and out for inspection time.
