Hey there 19903024X4! Long name! Only kidiing!! HEE HEE! Do you have the single exhaust, and is the second parts farther back near the axle? If it is, it's just a resonator. Something else to rust out I guess. I removed mine. Well, it fell off and I never bought another. If it's up beside the catalitic converter, then yes, there are two. Even though you only may have one 02 sensor. You can check it out in your manual. Yes, you spent the 17.00 on the manual, didn't you...... Well, you may as well now if you haven't. Good luck and we'll talk with you later....

lol, that's exactly what I said. And it's because of that very reason I tore that stock h-pipe off and put on a nice offroad h-pipe from BBK. Driving a muscle car is so much more fun when it's not technically legal. HAHAHA.

They're both catalytic converters, but they do different jobs.

Thanks for the input on the air hose. I was hoping it was only dead weight since my sawzall ate it.
