Is there much difference in catless brands (sound)

Do all brands sound similar or do the resonator style (wagner) change the tone. For good door bad?

Generally they will sound similar since a pipe is a pipe but I've personally heard two different catless downpipes (with same exhaust) for my last car in person and I felt like there were some subtle differences.

Sound will come from resonators (or lack there of) and the axle back exhaust. If your gong to de-cat the car the VRSF is insanely affordable and the fit and finish are great imo
