I dont see why it shouldn't pass.. I thought the resonators job was to just silence the sound of the exhaust?

Whoever said that didn't know much. Resonators have nothing to do with pollutants coming out of the tail pipes, only sound.

Resonators are used to quiet down the exhaust noise, not for any emission-related purpose. It is the catalytic converter that is used to reduced exhaust emission.
