Hello guys, just wondering what this tube is on my exhaust. It's between the
>manifold and the cat on the pipe. Could I have 2 cats?
A pre-cat maybe? Maybe a resonator. Also, I'm not the usenet patrol, but please post images and such in Binary newsgroups. Fewer people will see your image if you post it on a non-binaries group, many news servers strip the files. You could also post the image on web space someplace (some ISPs give you some with your account) and post a link...

Repair manual says the pipe AFTER that tube is the cat. And what's a resonator?
P.S. Sorry about posting that image here.
A resonator is a device that's put in to alter the resonance characteristics of the exhaust system, I believe it allows them to use a less-restrictive muffler to cut exhaust noise.
What year is this truck?
The truck is a 2002
