SACLAM Limited Production Exhaust System

There's no need for separate piping if all you're looking to do is reduce sound -- that's what in-line resonators are for. Now, I want to be clear here. I am not vouching for the effectiveness of using separate piping for backpressure, I'm just explaining what the intent behind the design is. Personally, I think they're gimmicky. But believe what you want to believe. It doesn't make an ounce of difference to me.

From the marketing of the HKS hi-power exhaust, these extra canisters are for sound reduction and tuning. In this regard, they are similar to resonators. Search for "dead chambers" for more info on this.

Hmm...well that makes the design even worse, IMO. Extra piping = extra weight. If the right sound can't be achieved with the normal in-line resonators and mufflers, that's just not good. Just my 2 cents.
