Milltek DP with cat or universal high flow cat

Apologies to everyone that has been reading all my non-stop exhaust questions lol. The car is an F55, and it's a daily driver, probably about 20 miles a day or so.

Well I have a cat-less DP ceramic coated (not yet installed) and a remus race exhaust (already installed). I decided to NOT go the cat-less route. So now my options are:

1. Sell the DP and get the Milltek DP that has a cat or,
2. Install the cat-less DP I already have then have a universal high flow cat (a flowmaster or something like that) installed in the exhaust mid-section. Advantage of this is that I can swap out the midsection my self pretty quickly if I want to. I don't see me needing to do this ever though.

I'm planning on a new IC and a stage 2 tune in the near future if that makes a difference.

Any thoughts on which is the better option?

I have the Wagner IC and Stage 2. Why would you not want the catless if you're going stage 2? You'd be hindering the tune. Look at the FTP aluminum charge/ boost piping when you do the intercooler. And also the Forge intake pipe when you do the DP, cause you'll have to take off the stock intake box/pipe anyways when you install the DP.

Yup I have the forge intake pipe sitting in a box, waiting for me to figure out what I want to do about my downpipe.

I’d like stage 2 (or close) level power, but I have to take into account that I daily drive my car to work, to school to drop off my kid, and around town for errands. I figured it’s best not to go blasting everyone around town with fumes.
