its not removed YET and your right on the two pipes but instead at the resonator ..the two pipes that you said is going from the primary then to the second cats (Y-shape) after that its just one pipe to the resonator THEN to your muffler.

Edit: I will try to find the pics when im at the muffler shop to do all that.
