Cat or Resonator?

Vechicle in question: early 99 F350 PSD with auto.

I am wondering how big the Cat converters that were found on certain PSDs.

Is it similar in size & shape to the cats found on 6.0Ls?

I got an interesting bulge in my exhaust system and i don't really think it is a cat. There is no exhaust flanges other than the one that connects the exhaust system to the down pipe.

Could this interesting bulge be a resonator?

Later (tomorrow), i will see if i can get a pic of it.

ps. this bulge is not found on my 2003 7.3L

k, thanks for the help. I just thought it looked a little small to be a cat. It is about half the size of the cat that is on both of my 6.0s.
