Re: IML: Muffler vs Resonator



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.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong. It seems that I've read that a resonator is a muffler but because of it's positioning downstream of a muffler, it's termed a resonator. Can someone elaborate on the distinction?

The parts book calls both of them "mufflers", and
they look like mufflers
to me.  I looked under my '66 Coupe barn find, and
there's a pair of
mufflers under there.  In addition, the line drawing
in the FSM clearly
shows mufflers.  I think what the factory was trying
to tell us is when the
exhaust is done correctly you don't need resonators.
