resonator is a chunk of metal

I saw a show on TV and the exhaust they were working on had a large peice of metal welded to a hanger about 3" off the pipe and they called it a resonator. I figure it must absorb some of the vibration/drone. Sounds like a good idea???

When Dodge did away with the Catalytic converters, they found the had a drone in the exhaust.

They fixed this by putting on the resonator, basically just a mini muffler.

Some who straight pipe their trucks find they have a drone.

Some have fixed this by welding a hunk of metal about where the resonator/muffler would have been.

I guess it should be called a de-resonator, as it gets rid of the resonation.

Check this out: http://shop.airflowonline.com/Mercha...ategory_Code=R .......its empty. Just a big void for the sound to bounce around in.

Nice...maybe I'll just remove the muffler and replace it with the 4" resonator. Might sound pretty nice.
