I have a resonator question...
My exhaust leak has gotten a LOT worse (yet another failed spark plug wire shook the exhaust system violently during vibration and rocking). From the best I can tell, it looks like the rusty resonator failed more from the shaking and has gotten to the point that it needs replaced (1 -- because inspection is coming up; 2 -- CO concentrations are definitely an issue). I'm hoping the B-Pipe is solid. It's all post-cat, so it wasn't an issue until lately.
So, I hope maybe the shop can put a straight-pipe in place of a more-costly resonator? I assume it only "adjusts" the exhaust pulse to make the exhaust note "more pleasant". The remaining system looks good enough to go. It buzzes and rattles, but it wouldn't be right without those!
On the most basic of principles (and as I understand it), unless the header is replaced, it doesn't matter much downstream unless you restrict considerably.
