Re: IML: Muffler vs Resonator

["jsadowski" <jsadowski@xxxxxxx>]

It seems as though the factory referred to both as mufflers, while the 
exhaust shops referred to the smaller of the 2 as a resonator. Not all 
Imperials have the resonators downstream. The 60 has them up front & the 
regular mufflers at the rear.
