Obviously, the second pic focuses on the resonated x pipe. If your muffler shop thinks your secondary cats are resonators, get a different muffler guy.
Total cost of secondary cat removal depends .... technically the job is probably like a 40 buck job total to have someone do it for you. But it's also a federal crime. So ...costs may vary.
Adding an x-pipe there is something some people do, but at that point, you dont really need the resonated x-pipe that comes just before the muffler.
I know how loud my MRT v1 is ...and it's not a muffler delete like the MRT v3 is ...and the V2 is just about a muffler delete. If you have a muffler delete, then you're already very loud even with the secondary cats and resonated x pipe. You're asking to get harassed by cops ...but that's your choice.
Swapping the resonated x pipe for a true x or aftermarket resonated x pipe (where the resonator actually is) should run you 100 bucks or less + cost of part. A true x should only cost you about 30 bucks. They're simple. Other options may run higher. Either way, that's the cost in california where everything is super expensive ...So being quoted higher than 200 is a red flag for sure.
Get a new muffler shop 100%.
