1. I'm betting on inside is the same honey comb material found insise our primary catalyst converters and is Not hollow with baffles around it with packing material.
I will go in the morning to my muffler guy and have him cut them off and weld a straight pipe in and shoot a pic. Put up or shut-up time kid...
My RC-F was setup the exact same way from lexus and that's how I know for sure but hey what do I know... lol

Do you even know what a resonator looks like? Lets place a bet that inside this thing you think is a resonator and whoever is wrong will paypal the other $20? But before we place this bet lets make some ground rules so there is no question to what this is exactly.

Appointment set for 8am will keep you posted.. Sheddy you seem like a cool guy and none of that was directed at you btw. Don't know why people just cannot be civil on forums before resulting in name calling and generally acting like a *****.. This will be settled tomorrow regardless if he wants to put his money where his mouth is..

I understand backpressure on forced induction and non-forced induction cars and the biggest restriction would be the primary cats with the sensors before and after. Turbo cars need no back-pressure and help in in the efficiency of the turbo the more you free up back pressure. My last car I built 2 motors because I blew the first built one due to melting #1 cylinder racing a McLaren p80. I then have a machine shop in tampa fl design a closed deck block for my application because the car needed the addition support at over 800 whp on e85. My setup was a single turbo precision Twin Scroll 6466 mated with a OS Gieken stage III clutch and 1200cc ID injectors, custom 10.1 cp pistons. Keep in mind that was on my old Nissan 370z. My car before that was a 350z if which a had a twin turbo setup which made around 550whp on 93 pump gas. I did my own motor swap in a 2 car garage along with the clutch install and changed the exhaust on the 370z about 6 times before I was satisfied with the noise and performance.....

It's a restriction, but in the end, it actually ends up in preventing a restriction... in people's breathing. Excellent invention! =P
I remember driving around in a friend's 690whp supercharged E90 M3 w/o cats. And after driving around, (and during) we smelled like we were soaked in gas. The entire interior stank. You felt the soot and grease on your face. Engines are disgustingly dirty things. Cats help. A lot!

I think you're madly confused lol. You're saying there's 2 cats on the downpipe and then two more after the downpipe? That would be a total of 4 cats, tf

So now I'm a Freak? Damn have you been talking to my wife? lol
Sure lets do $40 but hey since your so confident lets raise the stakes to $100 and go ahead and send the money to sheddy so he can hold the money until he sends it to me? I'm going to let you in on a little hint there cuzz, most resonators are longer due to being able to have more packing inside to actually Resonate Noise from the exhaust. Different lengths depending on how much sound dampening you prefer. Do yourself a favor and look further down the exhaust right before you get to the muffler on this car and you will see actual resonators but what I want you to look at is the length. The picture you sent is Way too small to be resonators...
Sheddy if you don't mind and willing to indulge us both send us your paypal address and lets get this party started if he agrees.....
