Default Stock hpipe = 2cats an 2 resinators which is which?

again title says it all im trying to diagnose my clogged hpipe an i want to say it is a cat that went bad so im online (ebay) trying to find either a replacement hpipe or xpipe (With cats an new) but they're real expensive then i looked into just replacing the cat or adding some to my offroad xpipe but now im confused cause the picture of the catalatic converter looks like what i thought was the resinator on my stock hpipe..SOO too my question on the 5.0's stock hpipe which is the catalatic converter an which is the resinator? are the cats the ones closer to the headers or furthest away from the headers?? and also wondering can a resinator go bad or get clogged up?

-im thinking wether its the resinator or the cat the piece that's closest to my headers (on the hpipe) on my right (passenger) side is clogged or burnt out need to fix or replace...any ideas???? thanks a lot for any input
