Auto Mover Resonator

Resonators are like little mufflers, and are typically the "straight through" type. They are added at the end of the exhaust scheme to take care of any noise that has made it through the muffler. The muffler quiets the sound of the exhaust by "muffling" the sound waves produced by the opening and closing of the exhaust valves. When an exhaust valve opens, it discharges the burned gases at high pressures into the exhaust tube, which is at low pressure. This type of action creates sound waves that journey through the graceful gas, moving much earlier than the gas itself (up to 1400 M.P.H.) which the muffler must silence. It generally does this by converting the sound wave energy into heat by passing the exhaust gas and its supplementary wave pattern, through perforated chambers of varied sizes. Passing into the perforations and reflectors within the hall forces the sound waves to dispel their energy
