    Exhaust issue

    Is this the resonator? I have a 2006 Hemi and each header has a Cat and O2 sensor then they join at a y pipe into this, which I think is a resonator, if I’m correct. Then it goes into muffler then tail pipe. There is nothing after muffler except pipe. The reason I ask is, I had a Magnaflow 3”...
