I was checking out the exhaust while my car was at Discount Tire getting the tires rotated and noticed that the Magnaflow exhaust has the two muflers at the rear, then about half way back towards the engine, there is another Magnaflow box that both pipes go through, then just underneath the engine there are two smaller round muffler looking things. Can someone explain in plain english. I am guesing that those are maybe the resonators??? Any help is appreciated. Need all I can get.

What you were seeing is a muffler (closes to the engine) and in the rear the 2 resonators (near the exhaust tips). Check the pic below...




Since you are asking about exhaust systems I guess you may want to get one one day. My advise when looking for a cat-back exhaust system is build quality and sound preference.

College Station is pretty good but better when the students are gone. There are a lot of SpaceCityLX members in your part of Houston that can always help you as well. Check it out if you haven't already.

When changing your exhaust system you will remove everything behind the cats. The pic above is of a complete magnaflow cat-back exhaust system. That should give you a visual.
