 Hello Paul,I am not an expert in the muffler field, so I may not be right in what I
 say!
 A resonator may go either before or after the main silencer, stopping some
 noise or resonance in a particular pipe length.
 As regards the dimensions, I am not sure as to what size the car was
 originally fitted with, but for standard applications, I cannot think of a
 pipe leaving the silencer being larger than the inlet, apart from the cases
 where users want more noise!
 Matters such as required back pressure are also a factor- but as I said I'm
 not an expert.
 I can think of lots of older cars where the outlet was a lot smaller than
 inlets.
 I'll try to go for little difference when I see the firm down this way.
