Resonator gone

I got tired of the resonator on my car buzzing. It's been doing it for years and has gotten worse and worse. So I took it to a Midas this morning and had them cut the stupid thing out and weld in a straight pipe.

I'm not thrilled with the results, but at least it was cheap ($27) and the buzzing is gone. There's a distinct fart noise to it - I can absolutely see why Subaru put that resonator there.

I don't know, man. It's just flatulent.

You have 20" wheels on your car, so I think it's likely we'll disagree on what 'annoying' is when it comes to exhaust.

I don't really understand what you mean by that. Stereotypes don't really enter into it - I was simply pointing out that our tastes clearly differ.

Either way, I meant no offense - I was just joking.

Me? No. It's all the original stock parts - minus the resonator now.

If you're really dis-satisfied, I have a stock center section with a good resonator I could sell you. PM if you're interested. I'll be out of town all next week, but when I get back we could work out a deal, I'm sure.

K. This is just me, but after removing the resonator, the exhaust noise on long drives makes my head hurt. I dunno what the conditions are but sometimes my exhaust creates a very deep bassy bellow at 2-3k rpms.

Good to know, thanks. I'll be driving it to Indy twice this weekend, so about 600 miles. We'll see how that goes.

My resonator was buzzing ... (kind of like my roof switch and window switches are right now... see other thread) I took my car to Mienike(sp?) and they replaced the resonator with a small "Cherry Bomb"

It sounds fine now.

I might know what you mean if I am going to the same route as you. The money you paid to fix is a cheap deal............


PS: 600miles? Hm....how low is still your mileages after you didn't drive her for so long?

I OWN THE ONLY SVX TO EVER ROLL ON 20"

To set the story straight for Suby Fan, he worked at a wheel/tire store and temporarily installed some 20" rims on his car to see how they would look.

I don't know why I remember this, but he mentioned it in one of his posts.
