I all confused about resonator, please help me!

Post by Brainless »

Since my exhaust is too loud, I need to find a way to lower my exhaust system noise so I went back to the place where they made it and they said that a resonator wouldn't help. Then I went to a speed shop and the guy showed me a high flow resonator and told me this would reduce noise by a little less than 50% without slowing the air flow. Who should I believe? I don't wanna get pulled over again. And I'm starting to get tired of "too loud".

personally i've never heard of a high flow resonator but if you're running an aftermarket exhaust and want to quiet it get a silencer. You just have to know the output diameter for your muffler and install it in your exhaust tip.

But should I pay 150 CDN$ + installation for this res or is there any other way to get a good res (used or new)?

ooopps! I made a mistake, the res I was talking about is a small straight through design muffler without tip (it's like 8" long). The guy told me that some people install this as a resonator when they want performance without a very loud sound, like me. What do you think?
