Default Interesting exhaust resonator

What do you think of this ?



It has 850 cu. in. in one chamber. Doubles as a balance pipe.

3" input connections, 2.5" output connections...

You can tell people it's an Exhaust Computer.

It's not pretty, but at least it's huge.

Interesting. When you say 850 cu. in. in "one" chamber, does that mean the entire resonator is one chamber? I sure would be interested in how it is baffled and how it sounds. Any pix of the inside????

Yes, its a single chamber box. No divider. This was on ebay with a few
other pictures. Mostly its a hollow box (seems there are 2 posts toward the sides.)

I've read that this allows tuning of the collector length independent of
the tubes back to the mufflers.

But, needing a cat, this wouldn't give any room for one. Would be nice to
find a cat with similar connections. The exhaust would be easy then...
