can someone tell me what is that in the picture ? resonator or cat ?

Sathinas

Resonator.

Cat will have an O2 Sensor in front and one behind it.

Isn't there supposed to be 2 resonators though?

So that's what everyone has been removing lately and replaced it with two ( or one ) straight pipes?

M-bENZ

if you talking RIGHT at that resonator then just 1 pipe.

For some reason the resonator in that pics doesnt look like I have on mine CLK500. Axnkicker, is it from your car ?

Andy

Clkboi

so the pic on the car does not have the res removed or it does?
And if i remember right my car has two pipes under there and this one seems to be missing one or maybe removed.

Im a total noob at this stuff sorry

M-bENZ

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.

thanks for the reply. Mine is 200 so maybe it is different then yours ..

aznxkicker

one more question guys ... since the pipe is 2.5" now ..does it make any sound difference when i replace with 3" or 3.5" ? will it sound deeper significantly ?

M-bENZ

that exactly what I did to mine.
