The guy that put on my x-pipe and mufflers also said the 2nd cats are resonators, so he would have no problem removing them if I wanted them removed. He doesn't touch the cats, normally. So I'm guessing they won't throw an error code if the 2nd cats were removed. I don't know how catalytic convertors actually work or what's inside them.

You should put the camera farther back from the car. It sounds deep! That's for sure.

Oh, forgot you deleted your 2nd cats after you mentioned the 2nd cats were resonators. I don't have a muffler delete. I replaced them with magnaflow mufflers. It's kinda too loud between 2K-3K, but then again, sometimes I don't even notice it. Weird.

What happened after you removed your 2nd cats? Did it get louder?
