Exhaust Question

[JaiJai]

Excuse my ignorance but I have searched and found nothing, although bet it is a stupid question

BUT

What the part sits between the cat the cannon? Is it a muffler and if so is it necessary? Just asking because I have a skyline with a kakimoto exhaust with one of these mid mufflers, JASMA on it. Is it there due to emission reasons?

Cheers

its a resonator, used to take the "lumpyness" out of your exhaust sound.

so basically yeh, its for emissions

Its a resonator or center muffler or mid muffler some people call it different things.

You can have one like the one in the pic or have a hotdog style one with fins to stop the noise/gases or have a straight throw hole.

They can make the car exhaust sound alot quieter.

so basically get rid of it? will it increase power supply?

cheers

thanks for the answers so far

Get a hotdog made up.. Bascially a pipe which resembles a hotdog. It may have stuff in there to muffle the noise.

I think its negelable power increase though. It will be louder.

honestly im just considering removing it and just gettin a 3' pipe put in there

and then be well over the limit of whats legal

In my opinion, the increased noise (an possible police attention) is not worth the small increase in power by removing the resonators.
