                        Chester, a resonator looks like a muffler, but usually smaller.
I took the muffler off my coach this morning. Didn't take as long as I would have thought with my luck in working on the Newell. Took about an hour, but Tom probably could have done it in about 20 minutes. Anyway the stainless steel flex coming from the engine looks real good. That was the part I was worried about. It would be extremely difficult to get to. The muffler looks pretty good and the section that is coming apart is because it has been bumped at one time. My decision now is to take the easy way out and have it welded or fabricate something else. The welded old muffler will probably last another 3 to 4 years maybe. The big problem with it is the tail pipe. It really needs replacing. So now would be the time to at lease replace that while the muffler is out. I will post what I decide to do.
