rusted out res
 

on my 99sl2 the resinator atleast thats what i think it is is rusted and leakin i was thinking either stick some pipe in there or get a cherry bomb and stick it there.

im lookin for it to not make it really any louder thats why i was thinkin the cherry bomb. so it would act kind of like a resinator.. either way i go it will be welded and just looking for sugestions

ummm...how about replacing with an actual resonator? I'm no exhaust expert, but wouldn't it change the backpressure if you put a muffler in place of the resonator?

backpressure already changed with it leaking and rusted..... talked to the local dealer the parts guy said i may as well throw some pipe in there they also want 224 just for the part f that

and the resinator is basicly a mid muffler to catch more unwanted frequenciea from the exhauast

took the plunge bought the bomb worked great only diff between stock and the bomb is the baffling on the inside of the stock just stick out further into the exhaust flow

if u where standing next to my running car even of i reved it you wouldnt know it wasnt stock unless i told you im verry happy with the results

ok then! bombs away!!!

**** a resanator
 

Yo dude I took my resinator rite out and put in a str8 pipe. Also installed a V-Force muffler and my cars awsome. It actually created more back pressure which is nice when u let the gas off because it allows you to use youre engine as a break to slow you down. And the pops of the back pressure sound awsome.

dude, can you please post a pic or video of your awesome ride?

By the way, I think the industry standard term is "backfire".......dude

Back pressure
 

Hey....dude, its back pressure. A Back fire is caused by improper engine timing. Back pressure is unburned exaust gases exploding in youre exaust system thats why it sounds explosive (all the poping). That is why high octane burning whips pop flames out the end of the pipe when they let off the gas (higher octane is more explosive). Not sure where you get youre info from. And I doubt you have ever built any kind of high performance engines. You give horrible advice......dude.

no need for bashers if ur gunna bash get the hell outa my thread....its mad to help people and explain what i have notice/done to solve not bash

Last I checked, back pressure is present without the popping too, for those of us with low-performance automobiles. Take your time when you type so that your definitions are factually correct.

In some high-performance vehicles, when a driver shifts up and lets off the accelerator, the engine has a moment of running rich. This causes an incomplete burn which causes the fumes to explode in the exhaust system along with an audible clacking sound.

Incomplete burn, explosion in exhaust system....interesting...

And I thought I knew everything.......damn.....I've been taught something new.

Thank you.
