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).
