If I'm in over my head, someone call me out before I waste my money
You may increase flow but the secondary cats are likely a very low cell cat so I'm not sure how much of a gain you'll get out of just replacing them with AR20 resonators but if it's just a reduction in rasp you're after I have no experience with those parts.
