Adding a Muffler resonator

By shanX
- Wed Jan 28, 2009 8:40 am #92803 Guys, I recently got an Ebay fart can. It sounded nasty. So I added a small resonator I found somewhere. It did dampen the noise a bit. But still it starts to sound tinny after revving above 3k. So am planing to replace the resonator with a proper one.

I was gonna buy a 2" Aero turbine resonator, but it was out of stock. So I found this resonator, it's called Silverline, a 2.25" x 12" one. My exhaust piping is 2". So If I add this resonator, would it hurt performance, coz it's 2.25"?

Resonator dint make much of a difference, dampened the bass a bit, but did add an aggressive note, so i have got used to it lol :)
