Yep. The long bulge next to the flange in the middle pipe is the resonator.
I'm thinking about re-doing my exhaust. This time i'm doing it right, all the way with headers. I'm going with the Tsudo ecotec headers. I don't know what size piping to go with? Also, can I use the stock catalytic converter and weld it to the headers. I'm using my current muffler, a wicked flow canister, which I know will alow it to keep the same sound, (I like how it sounds as of now). Should I put an 8 or 12 in resonator on. Finaly I don't have all the equipment to install everything so i'm going to let a shop do it. Any ideas on labor costs. Thanks.
All i need now is a cat.... whats your suggestions cuz i cant find a cat that will fit my 2.5inch sys now

2.25" piping. you can use the stock cat, but it will still be a restrictive system until your get a high flow. as far as resonator, alot of posts say that you should get at least an 18" resonator.
also, btw we have a header, not headers. there is only one, unlike a v6 or v8 which has 2
So if i go with 2.25inch after the header it will bolt up to the cat?? What about the 2.5inch catback w/ the resonator?

haha, sorry... another question. Cheap Ebay 421 Header, or pacesetter??

pacesetter is 2 1/4" down pipe
Ok, so what about if i go with a "Test Pipe" instead of a converter and use the O2 Sensor mod. Will it free up more HP and how will it sound with a cat (includes a resonator). Are we talkin a huge good sound difference, or an annoyance.

I would guess an annoyance.
