Default Anyone running OBX headers and Y pipe?

I was wondering if anyone is running the OBX headers and Y pipe...if so what are the included 'cats' or 'resonators' like? DO they muffle sound? Just for passing visual inspection? Are they straight through?

I would appreciate any insight!

**Please do not discuss prices or compare these to vendor headers, my point is to ask about them, NOT compare them or try and sell them**

Appreciate any help. Just want to know if the 'cats' which are essentially resonators will do anything? Are they straight through or a mesh all the way across like a hi flow cat? Are they a cat without the precious metals?

i just installed obx lt's with resonators after my head cam swap(on a c5 not f body). the resonators do help to quiet it down just a little bit, but prob not as much as the cats did. im running a borla xr-1 setup w 5.3 heads and tsp tqr v.2. sound nice at idle without too much droning and gets real mean sounding around 3000
