Magnaflow exhaust
So I got my exhaust put in today and I'm loving it , they did a custom job from the cat all the way to the tips ;-) they deleted the resonators and replaced them with magnaflow mufflers and then stainless steel 2.25 piping all the way thru and put 4 inch tips !!

This a pic of the mufflers where the resonators were

Found them on the magnaflow website like you said but there are three 4inch round mufflers offered. You know which one is the correct one they used on your car? They are all the same 4 inch diameter but the overall length is different for each. The have 20", 24", and 28".
Compa I'm here and waiting for your muffler part numbers if you have them please hook me up carnal..?? I'd like my ride to purrr like yours does.. Lol
Hey carnal , I went to the shop and he gave me the info on the mufflers , they are called magnapacks, and the part number was #10416, like I said sorry for the delay and they installed those where my resonators were and did the piping from there to the pipes , the pipes were 2.25

A resonator is a round muffler in essence.. When used mid-stream to assist in exhaust noise reduction..
Simple descriptions below.. But I have seen plenty of Resonators used in place of a Mufflers location.
Resonator in Automobiles
The exhaust pipes in automobile exhaust systems are designed as acoustic resonators that work with the muffler to reduce noise, by making sound waves "cancel each other out"[1]. The "exhaust note" is an important feature for many vehicle owners, so both the original manufacturers and the after-market suppliers use the resonator to enhance the sound. In 'tuned exhaust' systems designed for performance, the resonance of the exhaust pipes can also be used to 'suck' the combustion products out of the combustion chamber at a particular engine speed or range of speeds
Muffler in Automobiles
Mufflers are installed within the exhaust system of most internal combustion engines, although the muffler is not designed to serve any primary exhaust function. The muffler is engineered as an acoustic soundproofing device designed to reduce the loudness of the sound pressure created by the engine by way of Acoustic quieting. The majority of the sound pressure produced by the engine is emanated out of the vehicle using the same piping used by the silent exhaust gases absorbed by a series of passages and chambers lined with roving fiberglass insulation and/or resonating chambers harmonically tuned to cause destructive interference wherein opposite sound waves cancel each other out. An unavoidable side effect of muffler use is an increase of back pressure which decreases engine efficiency. This is because the engine exhaust must share the same complex exit pathway built inside the muffler as the sound pressure that the muffler is designed to mitigate.
Some vehicle owners remove or install an aftermarket muffler when engine tuning in order to increase power output or reduce fuel consumption because of economic or environmental concerns, recreational pursuits such as motorsport and hypermiling and/or for personal aesthetic acoustical preferences. Although the legality of altering a motor vehicle's OEM exhaust system varies by jurisdiction, in most developed parts of the world, modification of a vehicle's exhaust system is usually highly regulated if not strictly prohibited.

Hey bro, whats up! Hope you're having a gr8 weekend anyhow thanks for the info.. Greatly Appreciated.. Anyhow I was wondering if you could post some pics from the back of those Magnapacks all the way out to your tips if it ain't to much trouble for you.. Osea a lo que se ve the pipes run straight back after that with those 4" tips is that how it is..? Are your tips smooth at the end or the rounded oval ends rolled inward you know what I mean..??
