F56 JCW Pro exh Res bypass

Who knows where I could find/have fab'd up a resonator bypass for a JCW Pro exhaust? The exhaust is 2 piece and I would like to be able to reinstall the resonator section for inspection/emission etc.
Exhaust is 2-/34" Stainless steel. Nearby shops don't want to touch this, MA & RI is tough.
Thank you!

Resonator delete, or Cat delete?

The part that connects to the downpipe, either a secondary cat or resonator.

That's why no one will remove it for you... that's a cat converter...

Look into Milltek, they make a front pipe for the euro market, and it will need an adapter called an olive connector. to adapt to US downpipes.

You need the front pipe as shown on the left, and the adapter on the lower right.

Milltek Part #MSM347REP I dont see it on ECS

This pipe will work

Same here
I was more looking to get rid of the cat so it doesn't hit my subframe brace- what's that? get rid of the sub frame brace- Nah
Speaking of getting old, I went to look at a Mustang GT in Antimatter Blue cause it reminded me of my 87 Dark Shadow Blue Mustang.
