Resonator Advice Please

I was under the car this past weekend changing the trans fluid and the pan. I feel a bit more confident with doing it now. Shouldn't be too hard to get the heat shielding off.

Will I have to lose this bracket that mounts the DP to the car? Or can I cut a few inches downstream of that and still be ok?

Just a follow up on this. I replaced the Vibrant bottle style with their ultra quiet. For me with DP’s and a thermal 2.5, it was just to loud during normal driving. Sounds significantly better now imo. Stoplight starts don’t sound like I’m racing all the time but still a great sound when I get on it. FWIW, downpipes add a lot of noise to the exhaust.
