From your pictures you are correct. It does not look like you have a 2nd cat. You have a picture of a resonator there.

So I finally got the catalytic converter today since it had been out of stock, along with two new O2 sensors. I put everything in and am happy with the results. My acceleration is much better and the check engine light is finally off. However, I noticed some smoke coming up from the converter. It wasn't exhaust, and smelled different, like burning. Is that normal, to have smoke from a new catalytic converter/manifold? How long should it last? I know there is a sticker still on it that wouldn't come off, but would there be any other reason for that? Thanks
