Resonator vs. Muffler
Before selecting a product it's important to know the difference between a resonator and a muffler. Exhaust resonators act as an echo chamber, modifying the engine's sound by canceling out certain frequency ranges. Factory resonators typically block a lot of frequencies so vehicles run quieter. An aftermarket resonator, such as the MRT 2.5" Oval Resonator, focuses on the harshest noises while freeing up others so you can enjoy a more aggressive sound. Performance resonators can also add a few horsepower by reducing exhaust back-pressure.
A muffler, on the other hand, reduces the engine's overall volume by using acoustic filler material. Every vehicle is required to have a muffler when it leaves the assembly line. Our reversible performance mufflers are a little less restrictive than the stock muffler. By using them in combination with an aftermarket resonator, you can give vehicles a muscle car tone without it becoming annoying or violating local noise ordinances.
