You can remove a resonator regardless of where you live. It does not affect emissions.

Wher are each of these located?
A resonator would be back by the muffler.
A pre-cat is close to the exhaust manifold, and the main cat would be a bit downstream from this.

What year is your truck?
It sounds like a pre-cat and a main cat.

Why do you want to take it off so bad? They are there for a reason.
