Cheap exhaust

[Porpoise Hork]

So excuse my stupidity but I'm learning Is the resonator that thing between the muffler and the tailpipe? If so, what is it's function or purpose?Thanks!!!!

A resonator is typically used to alter the sound frequency to make it more pleasing. Typically they are designed to cancel out that annoying "low drone" sound of a car exhaust especially like those produced by 4 cylinder engines. Resonators are basically glass packs, which is a perforated straight pipe with an insulation layer wrapped around it then encased in n outer shroud. By design they do not restrict exhaust flow like a chambered muffler does, so removing them only increases/altars the overall exhaust note an engine produces. If you want a louder exhaust removing it will help, but may also introduce that headache inducing drone at freeway speeds.

Stumbled across this video with Flowmaster Super 10 muffler.

Finally got the Flowmaster Super44 and ebay tip welded up... looks and sounds great!

Did you keep the resonator pipe? I did because I didn't want highway droning but now I think it's killing a lot of the sound.

Yikes... those are some nasty looking welds...

For comparison...

They aren't perfect no... Good thing its under the truck so its not visible most of the time! I'm happy with it so no issues! Plus.. this is the cheap exhaust thread! $80 muffler.. $30 tip..

You can hear the exhaust note.... its a low hum. Nothing to crazy. I'm glad I left on the resonator.

I`m super happy from ebay free shipping I got a cat back. $233. took about an hour to install. MBRP. It has a down out pipe before rear axle

If it helps I have a FLowmaster Super 10(3" center in/out) then a foot of pipe and dumped. Yes I have some drone on the highway at certain RPM but it is not annoying. At most cruising speeds I barely hear it. With that said if you have a tail pipe I doubt you would have any droning in the cab. It would be very minimal at worst.

Last night on the way home I took some video with everything off and windows up, cruised at 60 then accelerated to 70, there wasn't enough sound in the cab for the mic to pick up, could barely hear anything in person or on the recording. Really the only time I hear much of anything is accelerating from a stop or putting my foot down. So if you're worried about drone in the cab I think it's safe to say as long as you have pipe extending past the cab you won't have any annoying drone inside.
