reducing drone

Zsteve · 11-27-2009, 06:48 PM

Was doing some research and read that side branch resonators seemed to help the drone by getting the freqs 180 degrees out of phase with each other that end up canceling each other. Is that why the Saclam exhaust looks the way it does? I was wondering if adding something like that would help reduce it but keep the same tone.

Still, I love the tone of the exhaust so I guees the wife just cant ride in it as much, cuz when Im alone in it Im hardly ever at the 2K range for my style of driving (FAST).

After reading more into their exhaust it seems that the Saclam has added side pipes to help with drone.
