Resonator

[Gamesy]

this needs to be settled in a drag race, 1 with resonator 1 without resonator

Damn it, just who or what is not making sense? This forum has become senseless.

I guess not senseless but confusing..

Really? Based on what? I have got to hear this.

[Freeman]

Based on what OT told me. I said that already..

I received a very short reply from Magnaflow's tech center today:

Hello,

Resonators are just mufflers, they are no different then a muffler internally or externally. When you put a second muffler in line with the existing muffler you call it a resonator. Resonators are used to help control sound or to control drone.

Thank you

Hello, I have been trying to verify what purpose an exhaust resonator serves and why. Correct me if I am wrong here but as I understand it they are used simply to alter the exhaust sound (eliminating certain frequencies or by reducing the overall decibel level). You guys are the experts, am I wrong in the above statement?

Thank you for your time.

Steven


So if ANY of you "experts" want to argue it out with Magnaflow, good luck with that.

I work for AT&T and I could have someone call me and I could tell them that a cell phone will fry eggs, doesn't make it true..

As this thread progresses every detail that I have put forward is being proven true.

N.B. All of that which Steven has pointed out above is correct. The information is further confirmed within the site addresses I provided in a previous post.

The self gratification represented at the bottom of your every post, tells a story always exemplified by the text above. You should get into bed with Harvey.

I have no clue what your talking about.

That figures.

Lack of back pressure used to be blamed for valves & guides burning up.....that also happened when lead was taken out of petrol - alot of older cars had to have hardened valves & valve seats "set-in" in place of the older types.......

So no matter what the facts are you choose to ignore them. Thats fine but don't come in here stating your opinion as fact. I know you are following in the words of your hero. Unfortunately, he isn't right on this one. But if you want to keep swingin' on that sack.... have at it.

Hey... wait a minute....

What is all this exhaust talk?

I thought you guys were talking about some sort of composite resin machine, or something...

The title says "Resinator".

And all you guys seem to be talking about resonators.

Somehow I think you guys are getting stuck on semantics of whether fluid/air pressure waves are sound waves or not, and some fluid dynamics stuff.

The question is, why must it be a fist fight? There should be some opportunity for real education here. Not every forum has the knowledge base that this one does, which is a thing to be thankful for. However, it gets harder to be thankful for seeming condescension and dismissiveness.

How's about we press the reset button on the emotions, and actually discuss some physics...

those who know... keep in mind, not everyone knows this stuff, nor has a background in fluid dynamics... and being dismissed, ridiculed, or spoken down to, tends to get people's hackles up.

Those who don't know, keep in mind, others may know what they are talking about, or may be incorrect. But dismissing, ridiculing, or being discounted off the cuff, tends to get people's hackles up.

More likely, some semantics are being misinterpreted, and the truth lies somewhere in the middle.

I have had about fourteen(?) custom exhausts on my Claret, always in search of "The Perfect Exhaust".
and, as Harvey stated, its sure hard to better the exhaust over stock!

I have removed the factory resonator and not noticed the differance,
BUT several customers with multiple SVXi have,
to the point that they insisted on the re-installation of a resonator.Who am I to argue with someone who only drives one or two SVXi...
AND REALLY pays attention! John.

Bonestock, perhaps you did not read my post.
The letters in red say something.
Hugs and stuff!
