"Suitcase" resonator questions...

[Carzzi]

Here's a video I found of what's inside the suitcase. The res is separated into two chambers. Interesting things:

• Only one of the tubes is perforated in both chambers,
• Only one chamber has fiberglass packing -- a chamber within which only one of the tubes is perforated
• The unpacked chamber has perforations on both pipes, to allow for scavenging, but seemingly less efficiently than a true crossover (X or H)
• There's no guided tubular crossover like in an H or X pipe.

Thanks for posting! I was kind of curious as to what was inside of the stock resonator!

I'm considering a crossover myself and happened to be researching the same subject as this thread.

Muffler Delete.
Resonator Delete.
Install 28" glasspacks in place of resonator.

Enjoy the compliments, and the $100 exhaust job that sounds better than the $1k nonsense people buy.

The exhaust will then not be connected at all from manifolds back, would that cause any issues?

It's connected. I've been running this setup for 3 years and no issues.

You mean it'll sound like an old truck. Got it.

I did the MAK cat deletes with an x-pipe and GT500 mufflers which ended up being pretty damn loud. I wanted to tone it down a bit to be more neighbor friendly so I installed the magnaflow tru-x resonator and it made my car so quiet that it was barely louder than stock. It works TOO well.

I ended up removing it almost immediately.

Someone is mad they overpaid for exhaust, and it shows.

Where in the system do the left and right sides connect with that setup? Also do you happen to have any sound clips?

They don't connect.

I don't think I have any clips, because recording it won't sound the same. I can record tonight if you want.
