it just means to take them out and have a piece of straight pipe welded into place.

i deleted my mufflers and it got somewhat louder,but still not quite loud enough,i may do the resonator delete also.

The resonator is BEFORE the mufflers on the L99 A6 models. It is designed to harmonically cancel out the exhaust drone that occurs when the DOD kicks in. Think of it as a huge ass third muffler. I had mine replaced with a X-Pipe and mufflers deleted. Sounds BAD ASS! Unless you tune out the DOD though the drone can be very annoying.

I think it stands for displacement on demand. For mpg type of driving the ecu cuts out four cylinders. You wont have that on the v6.

No, it should not throw a CEL... it is well down stream of the O2 sensors

My resonators are removed and replaced with x-pipe.

Check this thread link. ARK installed N-II. it is only X-pipe with straight flow 2.75" pipe.
