Resonator is a 'pre-muffler' of sorts.. located between the cat and muffler on the V6 Contiques. Wish I hadnt done mine.

The hoodliner is there to act as a "fire-blanket" of sorts as well. If a fire breaks out in the engine compartment the plastic tabs melt and the hoodliner falls to try and put out the fire. At least someone told me that once..

I am going to polyeruthane the motor mounts, and put shorter screws in the throttle body butterfly plate. Cheap mods.
