The resonator is vital to the vehicle because it adjusts the noise that the engine produces. This component keeps any loud noises from shaking the vehicle's windows and distracting the user.
Resonator ConceptThe resonator helps take care of the droning sound of exhaust that the user can hear inside the car. The muffler and resonator make the perfect pair as they give a more appealing sound and get rid of any high-pitched noises. The resonator is usually located in the exhaust system between the catalytic converter and muffler.
The resonator with the muffler makes a smoother exhaust note and the volume is consistent. It also lessens the pressure, while pushing out more horsepower.
