Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / General Car Topics / March 2005Question about air intake
One of my friends was telling me that you can remove the resonator (aka Bong) from the air intake tube in order to get a deeper throaty sound from your exhaust. Is there any disadvantage to this (ie poor gas mileage, shorter engine life) or is it without consequence? Thanks > One of my friends was telling me that you can remove the resonator (aka > Bong) from the air intake tube in order to get a deeper throaty sound from > your exhaust.

All you'll hear is intake noise by removing it. Ask your friend to elaborate for us how this changes exhaust tone.

Now that is just a guess. As for noise, I think a friend removed his, and he said the 'throatiness' was removed, making the car sound more like a lawn mower. Might want to modify the exhaust pipe to get a deeper sound, not the air intake. hth, tom @ www.CarFleaMarket.com My problem with modifying the exhaust is that it will cost money! ;) >>One of my friends was telling me that you can remove the resonator (aka >>Bong) from the air intake tube in order to get a deeper throaty sound [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > > tom @ www.CarFleaMarket.com >My problem with modifying the exhaust is that it will cost money! ;) Ha, Ha, Ha. I think you know what most people here would say, then work on making money rather than what your car sounds like. :-P But...... I think you can tail pipe addons via ebay. People buy small stuff like that, then want to upgrade, and sell off their little toys. Good luck on learning how to repriortize life. ;) later, tom >>>One of my friends was telling me that you can remove the resonator (aka >>>Bong) from the air intake tube in order to get a deeper throaty sound [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] >> >> tom @ www.CarFleaMarket.com Well, right now I am in my 4th year of Electrical Engineering at University, so I don't have much time to work, and school sucks the money right out of me (I've paid for it all by myself...no help from my parents!) Soon though, I will get a job and make lots of money, and then the real cars come! >>My problem with modifying the exhaust is that it will cost money! ;) > [quoted text clipped - 35 lines] >>> >>>tom @ www.CarFleaMarket.com |
