So, I said screw it, and got the Borla SType, I've now had the SType on three different trucks.
I guess what I'm saying, is just get a good system to start with, instead of piecing muffler A, and resonator B, hoping you made the right choice. In my case, I spent much more piecing crap together, than that Borla cost. Borla has a crate muffler SI/SO that sounds great, Pro something, if you insist on using what you have, I'm 99% sure it will be quieter than the ATAK you have, and still have Borla quality.
Just my .02, maybe not worth that much.
I have the Borla Atak right now. Love it. Just want to drop it a couple decibels which is why I was looking at a dual outlet Borla muffler too to put in place of my Y pipe and basically make it an S Type

Borla does things a bit different than others. They won't sell you a muffler specifically as an SType muffler.
Reading skills aren't the best today. Looking at their crate type mufflers, [universal] fit, they don't have what you want. Mentioning that "Y" pipe confused me, all I could think of was just downstream of the Cats.
May be, just may be if you called Borla, they could help you out with one of the crate mufflers to use as a resonator. As you see if you look at the universal fit mufflers, the cost isn't that high. Notice I said "call". I've dealt with them with email and actual phone call, and got much further than an email.

I might have to give that a try. I tried emailing on two separate occasions to hopefully get a better rep and it was the same guy totally clueless.

This particular one they say is the SType, they made me a liar. Looks the same as what I have.

now if bought that do you think it would be best to install behind the Atak one or remove the Atak one

The ATAK muffler is at the front, just downstream of the "Y" pipe, so it looks like if you didn't want to have a shop rework the system you have, you'd have to put it downstream, towards the rear, right in front of the rear "Y" pipe. Now you have me saying that!
I'd run that by Borla, if you call them. They may have a better solution. With no feedback from them, that's how I'd do it.
What state are you in where you're worried about a restriction?

NY passed a sleep act to quadruple fines and go after loud exhausts. I don’t think it’s terribly loud but I wouldn’t mind knocking a few decibels out of it
