Alrite I'm going to assume you mean "resonator" and no you should not throw any codes. Basically all the resonator does is further muffle the sound of the exhaust without reducing flow as a muffler does...the longer the resonator typically the greater the noise reduction.

Here's a link for you that shoud help explain things, it's about 3/4 of the way down the page:

Exactly. Plus, your resonator would be behind the catalytic converter (second O2 sensor), so there is no way that it could cause any type of problems.

I don't think GM would put a 2 1/4" piping on the 2.2

It should be like the J-bodies and 2 inch.

I musta been thinking aftermarket then because it seems most companies are going with those sizes on their catback systems. Thanks for straightening that out .
