How do you determine which is a resonator?
Jaguar refers to all of them as "absorbtion type silencers". Typically, that means an unobstructed perforated flow tube with surrounding packing material.
The placement of the "resonator" is a huge point of confusion in most of the exhaust threads because someone will say: "I removed the resonator" without identifying the physical placement. Now, if they happen to be confused as which one is a resonator, then all bets are off without pictures.
It would be really interesting to see the twin piped front muffler in cutaway.

Old post but what the hell, thought I'd share what I found out.
The short story is I was able to put a plumbing snake right though the mufflers, resonators and center resonator all the way up to the exhaust manifold. I thought our exhaust would have baffles it seems to be a straight though design. Aside from larger size piping and getting rid of the over the axle bends, the stock system doesn't seem that bad, which I've never said about a factory set up.
I had a cat melt down after a prolonged high speed run racing to help my girlfriend who was having a diabetic attack. After I reached her and got her home my car started running really rough. Chugging and stalling, down on power.
It turned out the cat blew apart and clogged the drivers side exhaust.
Later, while parked with the engine off I heard the oddest noise. It sounded like breaking glass, just cracking and tinkling away. I had no idea what it, and since I was at a gas station, I thought it must have been background noise.
On start up the next morning, I heard a loud bang! As if a rock hit the garage door. I got out of the car and found what looked like a paper wasp comb. Picking it up I realized it was made from ceramic, and not paper. I picked up done second hand cats locally and after clearing out the exhaust and installing the new drivers side cat, all is good.
So of course I'm going to screw around with them and make some smooth 90' mandrel teat pipes with bugs for the sniffers.
Last night I finished making a trial 4" intake 90' bend to test out and see if it works better than the 3 " I had before. Wow! What a difference. Now on to the test pipes....
