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.

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.

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 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. Dan |
