Almost done

my replacement 2.5L engine is in, transmission mounted and half shafts in. Went to replace the exhaust system and discovered the cat on the left side has several holes (and others previously spot welded), and the "guts" of the cat fell out. With that said, living in a non-smog state I am planning on going with the delete pipes. I do not know which is the better option:
Resonated - https://www.ebay.com/i/122412283693?chn=ps

or straignt - https://www.ebay.com/itm/Porsche-Boxster-97-99-2-5L-986-Secondary-Test-Pipe-DeCat-Pipe-Cat-Delete-Pipes/123063021275?

Looking for advise. I do not want a car so loud I can't talk to my wife, however...
What do I need to do to eliminate the CEL for O2 sensors if I go with either option.
Please adivse. I just want to get the car on the road so I can enjoy some top-down driving.
