Anyone have pictures of the inside of one of these? I'm curious to see what they look like. If nobody has any, I'll hack one off next time I'm at a junkyard and take some pictures myself...

What the inside looks like or just the resonator itself? Its like a cherry bomb muffler is what it kinda looks like.

Yeah, I've always heard of resonators being pretty much glasspacks or cherry bombs.

Ive thought of taking mine off, but I duno what a 3100 would sound like without one...

Posted

which one? the one before the split or after the cat? i can take a pic of the inside of the front one. i thought the second one was just a larger diameter w/ no sound material.

There should only be one resonator... Its located right before the passengers rear wheel.

I am curious about this too.. I left my fork at the old house when we moved.. It had a Res.. AFAIK, we didn't get Resonators until the 3100s debuted.. This is as far as the Supremes go however, based on what I have seen.. And own, because I have a fork from a 91 Supreme sedan and it has NO resonator.. I wonder how it would sound without mufflers but those resonators in the place of the muffs.. Hmmm..

i have an outside pic of the resonator after the cat. there was one there. maybe only a 96 3.4 thing? i cut it out and put a straight pipe in.

That looks like the actual cat. to me. The resonators are round.

 

Not always dude.. My mom's 96 Tracker has a cat, res., then piping to a muffler.. The res. looks like that one, just smkller becasue the thing is only 1.6L of raw fury..

It's very possible that the laster first gen's got a resonator after the cat, just like the second gens.

My resonator looked like nothing. It wasn't perforated, it was straight through, and basically was a bulge in the exhuast.

 

My 3100 was a little bit raspier without the resonator. No performance gain, just noise.

Posted

Good to know.. Ill make sure to put it on when I slap the Dual fork on..

Yup, I kept mine on when I re-did my exhuast last year.

That's the answer I was after, thanks.
