okay, i have an '04 ranger with the 4.0L. I bought the truck with "dual" exhaust already on it, that is, if you consider a si/do muffler with pipes "dual exhaust". I, however want to have true dual exhaust from the motor back. My truck comes off the headers with two pipes, and each runs through it's own cat, the pipes are then joined to one right in front of what im guessing is a resonator , and then runs into a flowmaster si/do muffler and is run out the back end of the truck with two pipes. My question is really just is it alright to cut out this "resonator" (if thats really what it is), and just run two pipes from the cats back, through two mufflers and out the back! Would this work? or would I fail emissions testing/inspection
