Default help with corsa resonator direction?

I have a pair of corsa resonators from a C4 system that ill be using in a custom setup on my C5 and i was wondering if anyone knew if they can be used in any direction or if theres a dedicated inlet and outlet? I sent an email to corsa but they havent gotten back to me and i feel like they arent going to. I only ask because if they can be used in either direction it would make putting this together a lot easier. Thanks to anyone that can help.

Look inside if you can, if the baffle is smooth perforations its most likely non-directional. If it looks like vaines biased in one direction then I'd have to guess its directional. If you can't get confirmation of whats in or out orient them to allow the exhaust gasses to slip through and not be "grabbed" by the vaines. Call Corsas tech line, even if they are no longer in production they should have some notes about the orientation if it was important.

Yea it doesn't have anything like that inside just 4 slits at one end to let the pulses in and travel down the length of the resonator. I think I'm going to have to call them and hopefully they will be able to help.

I don't know if this helps, but here is a picture of the C4 system assembled. Also, you might have better luck getting the answer in the C4 forum.

ok someone from corsa got back to me and let me know that they do only work in one direction, the inlet has the slots on the inside of the resonator.
