The muffler is the rear portion of the exhaust that is closest to the bumper. The resonator (there are usually multiple) are the smaller chambers that are located in the middle of the piping to further reduce noise pollution. You can think of the resonators as smaller mufflers but the muffler and resonator are two distinct portions of the exhaust.
In the picture below, the muffler is the portion in the upper left and the resonators are the two rectangular pieces on the right:

The resonator is roundish and about the size of two loaves of bread stacked long ways. It will be located dead center of the car. At least that is where it is on mine.
Here are pics that I took when I got mine removed.

just to clarify this statement...a resonator is not a cat/catalytic converter...a resonator's sole purpose is to reduce noise, that is it...a cat is designed soley to reduce emissions, that is it...
