Hey, I'm also wanting to delete the resonators, can you describe the exhaust from the cats to the resonators? Also, I can't find any mufflers with 2.75 inlet size. What should I do about that? Should I get a 3.00 inch inlet muffler and just do an adaper before the muffler?

The pipe size out of the cats are 2.375. If you are going to remove the resonator use a 2.5 to 3 inch y pipe and run a 3" pipe back to the muffler. any good muffler shop can do the work.
