if you r talking about the first cat. whel you would reduce back pressure on your exhaust

some hp gains

its a resonator.... without it you may see slight gains, but your car would sound like an elephane farting through a straw because resonators take the high pitched frequencys out of your exhaust note

it dependes on the car for instance, on the nubira that pice is called a pre-cat then the second unit is the actual cat.

Not exactly true. Depends which muffler you will use (for the 2nd muffler). Mine sounds very deep.

my plan was to keep the stock rear muffler and either replace the resonator with a straight pipe or a glasspack so keeping the stock rear muffler what would the straight pipe sound like and what would the glasspack sound like

Dont bother I did that at first and with the stock muffler there was no difference but when I changed the muffler WOW what a difference

No. Doing this would be better than switching over to Evo Fusion catback, which is bigger piping and doesn't have a resinator. And no one ever complained about that catback.
