1965 Dodge Dart Charger

Dan! Would the black resonator be made with black steel from the beginning or was it painted afterwards? I'm not sure cause I haven't seen a black one. Honestly I didn't know about it at all!!

I think you are right regarding the muffler. I never thought about it but after checking the resonator, the box and the numbers you hit the spot.

So now the big issue is if the resonator was painted or produced with black steel from the beginning? Any help is greatly appriciated.
