Default 09 5.3 exhaust( finally got pics)

sorry it took so long, but here are the pics of the thing in my exhaust... not sure of its a cat or resonator or what... also notice that i dont have a flange... theres just a band clamp between the bubble and the flex pipe... my neighbor has same truck but an 08 with the 4l60e and his doesnt have that bubble in the pipe and he has a traditional flange... hmm.. anyhow.... input needed...thanks..

Definately a cat converter. My 08 does not have that one. Must have been added for emissions purpose on the 09's.

worldwide equipped.. they're a pain in the ***....especially those cheap driveshafts... do yourself a favour and don't go over your factory set limit... we've broken 3 driveshafts in less then 4months on the dyno.. they broke out at 210kph
