CutlassSL91 Posted May 10, 2006 Report Posted May 10, 2006 Ok I got these cheap Soundmaster mufflers from nap. they are fairly quiet, but sound liek they have a hole in them, (just from being cheap i am assuming). They have a very annoying deep drone while stopped in drive, and are rather raspy from the outside. My question is, if i got a resonator from a later model W-car, would that silence the annoying idle drone and rasp? Quote
19Cutlass94 Posted May 10, 2006 Report Posted May 10, 2006 A resonator would help out. Thats basically what there designed to do, quiet down the cars exhaust. Quote
CutlassSL91 Posted May 10, 2006 Author Report Posted May 10, 2006 do they really have much of an effect though, i mean they seem like such a simple peice of equipment Quote
J Posted May 10, 2006 Report Posted May 10, 2006 do they really have much of an effect though, i mean they seem like such a simple peice of equipment so do air filters, but they are very important when working in a system of parts. If that makes any sense!! Yes resonators will help, if you want to smooth it out and quiet it down, get the biggest one u can fit. Quote
CutlassSL91 Posted May 10, 2006 Author Report Posted May 10, 2006 so what type of vehicle could i find a really big one on? I am thinking a truck or something? Quote
19Cutlass94 Posted May 10, 2006 Report Posted May 10, 2006 SRT-4s have a good sized resonator. You can just put two of them inline. theres more than enough room, since I dont think the one from an SRT4 will fit. Quote
White93z34 Posted May 11, 2006 Report Posted May 11, 2006 instead of helping the bad muffler. why not get one thats good to begin with. Quote
jeremy Posted May 11, 2006 Report Posted May 11, 2006 instead of helping the bad muffler. why not get one thats good to begin with. you read my mind.....I was going to suggest buying a quality muffler instead of the putting a "band-aid" on the problem Quote
ToroToro Posted May 11, 2006 Report Posted May 11, 2006 Ya really. Two resonators is insane, and would probobly cost as much as one good muffler. Quote
firefighter_0029 Posted May 11, 2006 Report Posted May 11, 2006 I put a Thrush Turbo on the beater. It sounds pretty good and they cost about $18. Same size in and out too so It won't kill the power. Quote
CutlassSL91 Posted May 13, 2006 Author Report Posted May 13, 2006 well i baught the cheap mufflers because they were $30 a piece for the these walrer tru fit equivalets vs the next lowest price which was $84 a peice!!!! These mufflers are not bad, but at just certain rpm's there is a deep nasty drone so i guess i will try the resonator ideas Quote
