dont think theres any links of it on the net. its just an aftermarket resonator (hotdog style) - the canister is smaller than the stock one so the sound resonates off the walls more and yea becomes louder lol. Sounds so sweet, louder than before and still maintaining the deep rumble of the xforce muffler =D. only down side is that i feel a lack of responsiveness now.. i didn't think the resonator would do this but.. theres a tiny bit of lag around 30-50 km/h.. so between 1st to 2nd gear, and 2nd to 3rd gear (on an auto) i feel a bit of lag on the accelerator paddle to the engine... just experiencing some delayed responsiveness =[.. anyone know why this is? Or if its gonna get better once the whole system settles in again?

when your car pops means your car is running rich. i believe

**black8thgen** · 06-05-2009 06:43 PM

whats running rich? =/...

**cracker** · 06-05-2009 07:23 PM

i thought thats because the resonator isnt resonating the sound?

**black8thgen** · 06-05-2009 07:30 PM

LOL. that didnt help at all

Running rich basically means that your Air Fuel Ratio is off and there is more fuel than air, which creates a rich condition.

so that causes popping? =/..

ah... anyways dus neone know why im experiencing a lack of responsiveness after the custom resonator of smaller diameter was put in?

i think popping/misfiring is when there's not enough fuel but rather too much air.
