'17 Resonators removal vs keep

icetraxx · Sep 1, 2017

So I had the Magnaflow 18" welded in today and while it sounds great on the outside. it is a little loud for me on the inside in city driving. I'll be taking it out on the interstate in the morning. Would removing the factory resonators quiet it down a little?

I am also wondering if no sprayed bed liner and a bed cover is making things a little louder than I was expecting. I had the corsa touring on my other truck and it was loud on the outside but quiet on the inside. However I did have a sprayed in liner and no bed cover.

I'm not a fan of resos. I would remove.

Yeah but I think it will be louder without the resonators

Function

Exhaust resonators are usually add-on features in exhaust systems. They are placed together with the mufflers along the exhaust pipe and work primarily to decrease exhaust noise. The exhaust noise passes through the resonating chamber, which in turn tunes the sound to cause destructive interference in order to be canceled out by the opposite sound waves.

Removing the resonators will make it slightly louder & give it a more throaty tone.

A bed cover WILL make the exhaust drone more. I notice a big difference w/ my bed cover on/off.
