Can someone tell me what the layout of the exhaust system is.
Is it 2 resonators going into the cat then to muffler?

There are four catalytic converters in this picture. The engine would be to the left. Downstream is to the right, where the single resonator is followed by the muffler.

thanks.

4 cats, nice

unlukky

correct.
4 cats -> 1 resonator -> 1 muffler.

I have my resonator removed and have heard of many removing their secondary cats.

How does it sound without the resonator?
did you put pipes in place of it?

I like it. A little throatier when I put my foot in it. Not very noticeable at idle. I just replaced with straight pipe stainless. Be advised that this is where goes down from 2 pipes to 1. Some are buying universal 'x' pipes and installing. Search it, you'll find the one.

the mechanic i took it to out here in long island, he got them from mercedes ralley out here in long island... he thought they were gonna be even more expensive..but i did see after market ones by castco and were cheaper but i went with the factory cats so i could get rid of that big bright yellow annoying check engine light! so im feeling alot happier lol i guess

I removed my resonator and the muffler and sounds pretty good and it kinda feels quicker too! Does it make a difference power wise though?
