Forgive me if this is in the wrong spot. Does anybody know if the 2 factory resonators are restrictive at all? They're the only stock left in the system and I can't obviously see them.

What is the end goal you are trying to accomplish?

Make it as free breathing as possible without making it obnoxious. If they are just straight through with packing I'll leave them be

Having the OEM resonators in place is a preference at best in my opinion only.
I personally have them removed, and in place in my truck is a Magnaflow 3" cat-back system.
However, if you wish to have a truly 'free-flowing' system in addition to the above, then have the stock y-pipe removed and replace it with a custom made one. I have this on my truck and really like it.
If you're up to speed on this you'll know the OEM y-pipe has a pair of 2.5" pipes smashed together that forms a huge bottleneck in the exhaust system. Change this and you'll open up a whole new level of 'free flow exhaust breathing' for your truck.
The 'obnoxious' part comes in to play when you choose what you want for the cat back part of the equation.
There are so many choices when it comes to this aspect of ones exhaust system. For me personally, I prefer Magnaflow as it is the nicest sound, especially under wide open throttle. But, to each their own in this regard.
I personally don't like raspy and loud... for me, Corsa, Borla, etc., have that sound level I don't prefer. But again, this is truly a personal choice.

They are fairly free flowing. Do you already have long tube headers and a y or x pipe?

My understanding is that they are essentially a hollow can. Any minimal gains from removing wouldn't be worth the added droning. Cats and muffler are "new" on mine, resonator is the only thing that's still factory.

Agreed, the y pipe and the manifolds are the biggest things robbing power in your exhaust.
