Exhaust resonator/premuffler
1 - 20 of 20 Posts
I've heard of some 350Z owners removing their resonator and most of them complain about droning. Probably excused somewhat on a sportscar but not cool on a luxury SUV. I can say from experience that the droning can be exhausting (no pun intended) on a daily driver.

I will do some pictures on the wheels and the exhaust.after 2 lower back surgeries I will need to get a friend to do this and I am off to Miami for a break.True duals can be done by a good shop.Even though this shop had done previous work for me,I had them do one section again to get what I wanted.Watch your diameters to keep flow up,the stock piece costs us too much I thought(narrow)Above 3500 it flows and flies.esemes said:
PS what is the RPM for the droning..it is RPM specific
Over on Corvette forum, a lot of drivers have done this to their exhaust. I did it to my 2000 and it did get a little louder. It was like to small little pipes put in between the pipes, bypassing the muffler. Here is a quick pick of what I am talking about.

This gives a good look at the C5 exahust. Notice the bypass.

I have heard of cross-balancers... but that dia. suggests a str8 out flow tube, as well as the muff-in tube...
you sure they arent balancing the LHS and RHS main tubes with the smaller dia. cross balancer tubes instead?? (gives more equal back pressure this way, esp. if the length/shape of each side isnt exactly the same)

Hey Geaux that is so ingenious! Almost like having a stright pipe.
Did you notice any gains? I would assume that you would only feel a slight gain on the freeway at higher speeds. Might lose a little off thel line with the drop in back pressure. I might try this!
I'm gonna do this some time this week if I get a chance!

I really did not feel any gain or loss. Only in the noise department. It was more agressive when my foot was in it. But it was not enough for me, and I went with a cat back on my 01.
My only concern with this one is what esemes said. It is only on one side, where the vette had it on both. Will it be unbalanced? Odd sounding, or just a straight through?
You could get any muffler shop to do it. If it does not work, just take it out and fill the holes made. Not too bad.
