Yes, the  criterion of adequacy...of what?  The prior sentence refers

Gee, I  wonder what they could be referring to!

According to your  interpretation, sentence 2 directly contradicts
sentence 1.  There  must be a muffler.  But what the system consists of
doesn't  matter.  But there must be a muffler.  Do you really think
that  the SEB meant to write a self-contradictory rule?




Muffler:
defn: A device that absorbs noise, especially one used with an  
internal-combustion engine.
 
The "device" does not need to be of any specific design, just capable of  
absorbing noise...so whether the accepted term for the device is "down pipe",  
"turbo", "dump or turn down" etc. is irrelevant in it's being a "muffler".
 
In other words, it depends on your definition of "is" ;-)
