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

Lightbulb FYI for ALL

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, it's no problem, I thought I put all the pics on the forum of how the piping was, try going back to the beginning of this post to see if that helps, if not private message me your number and see if i could be more help, and the tips are 4 inch tips with rounded edges, I'll take pics and show you what I mean
