How much extra $ is it to remove second cats and replace with piping? Is it rust-proof piping? Does anyone have a photo of where the 2nd cats are?

The 2nd cat delete should be the same price as a resonator delete more or less, around $80



The 2nd cats are to the right of the encircled x-pipe, the two oval things to the right of the circle.

So the primary's are hidden?

And, x-pipe/res delete, 2nd cat delete, and quad tip install will run me about $250?

Not quite hidden, if you follow the piping from the 2nd cats, the primary cats are all the way to the right of the pic (canister looking things), one on each side.

$250 sounds about right for all that.

xpipe will do a little change in sound, little raspiness but it wont be noticible untill like 3x rpm. It was too stock for me, i wanted louder thats why i deleted 2nd cats as well and now its perfect for me. If i would take time back i would just straight pipe 2nd cats and resonator without putting xpipe anywhere.
