Problems, that have to be fixed now, are the lower ball joint on RF, new tires, and an exhast leak, at the spot where the pipe splits off to the resonators. Would bypassing those and just running a pipe back to the muffler cause any problems? I think my next project will be some body work.
Welcome to the forum.

Yep, take those resonators and toss 'em. BUT, the resonators provide the support for the center of the system. Without them, there is no support between the clamp near the transmission and the rubber supports behind the rear muffler. It's a looooong way. I've got the same issue with the SD. I want to get over to the muffler shop and have them fab a couple of hooks on the driveshaft tunnel cover.
