The dampers you are talking about are designed to stop the pipes they are attached to from resonating at certain RPMs... they effectively change the weight of the piping and thus change the resonance frequency...
So these dampers are some kind of weight that's bolted to the exhaust pipe?

I can't tell how they function from looking at the service manual diagram. I thought they were some kind of device that actually was inserted into the exhaust pipe and had a controlling device external to the pipes.

Thanks for the info. though!
