Modifying V6 active exhaust

If you always drove around at low revs I could understand how the valves might stick closed, but if you're a "floor it and grin" kinda guy that would exercise the valves and keep them from seizing.

Hi there
As I've mentioned in another thread I have an exhaust which has been modded by PO and I'm trying to get back to something good. (V6s)
Current:
Custom downpipes (which i think moved some oxygen sensors which possibly through the map off but that's another story)
Hi flow (i think 200cell) cats
the premuffler has been deleted (is this what people refer to as the resonator) so it's straight pipes back to the
stock muffler
The car makes an amazing noise after 4k (valves open all the time)
but its a bit drony (resonant) and maybe a touch too raspy at normal revs
great mid range and top end power
Should I just put stock cats AND premuffler back on effectively returning it to stock or would replacing JUST the premuffler be enough.
basically i'd be said to loose the awesome top end scream or power but I need it to be a bit better for conventional driving.
thoughts? (unhingd i know you are gonna tell me to get a VAP exhaust!! )

The tone is higher pitched compared to the original sound. It's not anywhere close to a V10, but if that's what you're after, you'll like this mod
