the second outlet 24 the second position of the second valve 58 allows for exhaust gas entering the second inlet 46 to pass through the second cutout 34 and exit the primary outlet and prevents exhaust flow entering the first inlet 32 from exiting the primary outlet 48 when both of the valves 56 58 are in the second position the exhaust gases from the engine 14 flow through the exhaust pipe 12 the first catalytic converter 16 the first cutout 18 the first exhaust transfer pipe 36 the second catalytic converter 38 the intermediate exhaust transfer pipe 40 the city muffler 42 the second exhaust transfer pipe 44 the second cutout 34 the resonator pipe 50 and the resonator 52 the flow through the first catalytic converter 16 the first cutout 18 the first exhaust transfer pipe 36 the second catalytic converter 38 the intermediate exhaust transfer pipe 40 the city muffler 42 the second exhaust transfer pipe 44 and the second cutout 34 creates a second exhaust flow path when the exhaust system 10 is in this second condition or second mode of operation the exhaust flow is more restrictive because the exhaust gas passes through both catalytic converters 16 38 and the city muffler 42 is larger than the highway muffler.
