I believe so, I remember that I had changed my muffler and tip, from the stock to a 5" Tip with direct air muffler, awesome noise, but i still had the stock catback, and all i had done was had it replaced for a 3" catback, now its just unbelievable.

That would work, but to get the better sound, just go to an exhaust shop and have them remove your stock resonators. They should be able to remove them and weld in straight pipes for about $60.
