Which is muffler and which is resonator on a GL550

Been trying to do research on the exhaust components for a 2013 GL550. I *think* the front is the muffler and the big box near the exhaust tips is the resonator, but not 100% sure.

Asking because I want to delete the resonator to give it a better growl - I deleted the resonator and installed a x pipe on my CLS550 and it's night and day difference in how good it sounds.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance

Maybe this will help

Doesn't list a separate resonator part however.

I've seen that, thank you. It's either 12 or the front part of 7, but they both say muffler?

Any done any exhaust swap/mods and would know? Google hasn't helped on this one.

#7 on the diagram is the resonator and #12 is the muffler.
