The bigger the downpipe the more noise and potentially more power you will get.

Assuming you are going for a non MOT legal option of cat bypass rather than the legal sports cats then there are plenty of options. I don't know if they are all a straight fit onto the Akra though.
Options include milltek, brondex, APR and Akra will sell you one made by the same company that makes their exhausts (or is made by akra but branded by this other company can't remember which way round it is).
just in case UK drives are reading this Brondex will only fit left hand drive cars. i proved that. Absolutly no support from the company re not fitting RHD cars. They had my money and that was that.

Centre cats with a dual system I would be surprised if you lose anything over 5-10bhp. Moving the cats to the mid section wont be cheap though. Cats in the downpipes, best place for efficiency but worst for power

RS7 FL best car I've owned. No faith in turbo oil screen (turbos failing) or sticking oil scraper ring causing missfires.
F10 M5 LCI still no rear grip lol
S7 black Edition Too big and heavy
S3 8V FL DSG 310ps, road noise is a joke
RS3 8P Rubbish
C7 RS6 Fantastic car but missed playing
GTR R35 800bhp, too extreme, crazy fast though
911 Turbo Remapped. Hated it
F10 M5, awesome but no rear grip
RS6 V10 700BHP crazy
Porsche Cayenne Turbo S 600bhp
