I'll
have to agree: yes you want the resonators. Mine was fitted with just
standard mufflers and it has a definite growl to it, cool sounding for the
racing freaks (which I'll admit to) but not dignified for a luxury
marque.
As with anything it's a personal
preference.
I
always prefer a "sleeper" anyway....a very quiet running engine that will
"disappear" down the road before anyone knew you were gone. And I find the
extra noise irritating at highway speeds. I recall putting glasspacks on
my '62 as the resonators were worn out.

I cant really be sure if this Imperial
was originally designed to have these resonators installed or not because
this car had been restored appx. 25 years ago. Does anyone know if these
were optional or factory installed?
The
1960 Imperial exhaust system is shown in detail in the 1960 Chrysler &
Imperial Shop Manual. See
http://www.imperialclub.com/Yr/1960/FSM/html/11-004.htm on our club's
website.
And yes, you do need (and want!) the resonators (labelled as
"mufflers" in the above-referenced diagram).
Good
luck,
