Thats all S14's.

S13's just have the cat under the driver seat.

My s13 had test pipe and 3" exhaust.

Car was loud as **** on the road and gangsta on the track.
Ok if I understand correctly it will not make any difference if you would take out the second cat and replace with a test pipe or a resonator?

I will be getting an exhaust for my 240 some time next summer and I was thinking to replace the pre cat with a hi flow cat then replace the second cat with a resonator then just some cat back system would that be good or would you do it any other way?

it would then be like
Eninge > Ex.manifold > Pre car > Resontor > Cat back system

OK let me make the correction. If you have a 95 s14 that has a production date in early 94 chances are that you have OBD1. If it is OBD1 then the CAT is underneath the driver seat......... Every other s14 has the CAT butted too the exhaust header (that means OBD2).

Anyways here are pics of my high flow before I slapped it on my ride, Highly worth the investment IMO..

OBD2 later 94 production (S14 purchased in 95 from the dealer ship).
OBD1 early 94 production (s14 purchased in nov~dec of 94 from the dealer, these model s14's are rare).

You have OBD2...

Engine > Ex.manifold > Hi flow catco > Resontor insted of 2nd cat(less high tone) > Cat back system

The second cat you speak of isn't a CAT but a resonator. If you have ever opened one up they are hollow.
