If your car loses power and runs like **** because of a cutout, then there's some other factor involved. Simply removing restriction in the exhaust doesn't automatically make more power. You still have to tune the engine accordingly. Larger injectors, better flowing intake, different timing curve, or fuel map may be needed as well.

An engine is a combination of tuned parts. Changing one part can throw off the tune of the others.

 

take the mother ****** off if you want a bad ass loud sound and keep it on if u want a more quiet sound lol thats about as simple as it gets lol

 

X2!!!!!! i hate my sound.... redoing exhaust FTW!

 

wtf? lol

 

You just described my cars exhaust sound...

 

i dont know if i should put the factory resonator on or put the magnalflow resonator on?????

 

keep in on, i just had one put in on my system

 

what is better the factory resonator or the magnaflow resonator, they both have a staight threw design, but i heard that the factory resonator is made from better material and will last longer, what do you guys think.

what are you gana do about it?????

 

lol its one of those sayings, generally synonymous with "were on the same page"

 

i think im going to put the stock resonator back on or even the magnaflow resonator, and just have it a lil louder, instead of being made fun of for it sounding like a tin can with rocks in it lol.

 

Thank you sir. It's time someone finnally said it.

There are no baffles or other restrictions in a resonator. You can hold it up to the light and see that it's the same diameter inside as the original pipe. Some resonators have perforations in the pipe inside the resonator to break up and reflect sound waves. Others, like my Corsa, are basically a pipe inside a pipe with no perforations - but still performing a sound deadening function while maintaining exhaust velocity and therefore extraction.

The only thing you will save by removing the resonator is a little weight, but you will pick up an annoying "resonance" or cabin drone at certain constant rpm's.

Keep it, or go with a solid inner resonator like the Corsa. Like everyone says, you'll be sorry if you remove it.

 

ok, that sounds good. how much did a corsa resonator cost you? yea there is an annoying "resonance", does it sound the same as rocks in a tin can? yea i am sorry that i took mine off, it makes the car sound horibble.

 

It comes as part of the cat-back. One of the reasons Corsa charges as much as they do for their cat-back (other than the obvious uber quality) is that they guarantee no drone.

I guess that you could e-mail them to see if they offer it seperately.

 

i got a nice magnaflow resonator, lowest tone ive herd out of a balt

 

do you have have a magnaflow muffler to go with that resonator, and is the tone a low rumble, nice sound, or a low tone where noone knows your coming when you take off, or just driving?

 

Hey biohazard, where did you get your magnaflow resonator?

 

hey i got my magnaflow resonator from lightning force performance.com it cost 60 bucks.

 

that aint bad

 

you can also get a package that comes with a magnaflow muffler, resonator, and a tip for 180 bucks. thats what i did

 

I'll probably do that.

 

Ok, update! I just got a second resonator welded in today. The cars sound can only be explained as every happy feeling you've ever felt, all put together in sound form!!!

 

Clip?

 

Relax! It only been on the car for like 8 hours and your already asking for a clip! Geez, Cobalt owners sure are impacient! Prolly why I'M so impacient

 

yea, where's teh clip?

 

Ok it's been like 16 hours.....clip??
