yes there are. if you look in them, they have baffled holes all around the inside. they are resonators, not catalytic converters, so yea there's nothing to gut.

Whats the purpose of the resonators? why not just run straight pipes with mufflers and cats and let it fly

They are on there basically for a visual check to simulate cats in case of any place that does a visual check I believe
