 1. What is a Resonator? 

 

A Resonator is an echo chamber usually located on the downpipe or midpipe section of a car's exhaust system. It modulates the engine sound and is favoured by acoustic engineers to slightly mute the sound waves, working in conjunction with the the car's rear muffler.

 

2. Benefits of a Resonated Midpipe

The main benefit of a resonated midpipe is it removes the rasp and other unpleasant sounds which the engine produces. The resonators on our midpipe have been precisely tuned by our team of acoustic engineers, allowing the perfect amount of emotion to still be passed through. 

 

3. Benefits of a Non-Resonated Midpipe

One major advantage of a non-resonated midpipe is its ability to generate a significant volume. When combined with cat-less downpipes, it remains unchanged until it reaches the rear muffler. As a result, the resulting sound is highly unrefined, loud, and occasionally obnoxious. 

 

4. Do I need a Resonated Midpipe?

At the end of the day, it all comes down to personal preference. Our team has created this table for an easy comparison to help you decide.
