It does more than what a resonator does, it does something with frequencies. regular style resonators really do not cancel drone out, rather reduce it. There is ways to completely cancel out drone, and have your exhaust sound as loud as ****. Ever heard of a corsa exhaust, they have something in there exhaust that can tone out exhaust sound at a certain frequency.
Corsa Performance Exhaust - Reflective Sound Cancellation™ BUT that pretty much corsa exclusive, most go with the helmohtlz

A high quality exhaust cost 2x what it would on a domestic. Headers are slightly cheaper though. Just expect everything to be 2x as much and half the performance gains.
Ya i forgot, thats what they are called. I guess i will have to look into a custom job.
