[Healeys] exhaust popping

[Len and/or Marge Hartnett]

When I acquired my BJ8 back in 1970, a previous owner, there were two, had 
removed the two resonators across the rear of the car.  The backfiring on 
deceleration was quite annoying to my copilot/navigator especially when 
descending hills in a lower gear.  I wasn't that fond of it either.  I 
reinstalled resonators and the popping went away.  No other changes were 
made as far as I can recall.  She and I were quite content going down hill 
after that (in the Healey, not the marriage).
