Being extra intrigued, I went out just now and took a pic in the dark just to verify I wasn't going mad. (I spent so much time under the PM this summer and thought I knew it well.)
This is my 159-inch 2018's middle section of the exhaust. As you can see, it's a straight pipe.
Are we Canadians missing a resonator???! Could our PMs thus be unnecessarily noisier than those of our southern friends???!
More seriously, do American PMs also have that blob near the back that I think is a resonator? It's in Phil's linked diagram along with the resonator in the middle.
And I think I see it way in the back of his photo. And if the blob is indeed a resonator, do American PMs have two???
