in theory would adding resonators to this setup increase or decrease the pitch? or would that depend on the resonator used?
planning to run it w/ an oem rear section until i can find a ti akra rear |
Generally, decrease. Mufflers and resonators, in general, both do the same thing; transfer energy from the sound waves to insulation of the resonator and mufflers, preventing the propagation of a variety of frequencies. Although possible, increasing the overall frequency of the waves in a refined manner will require something more complex than a hollow object with insulation; it'll require at the minimum dead-end tubing and a knowledge of how our car's exhaust functions, something universal resonators/mufflers don't generally take into consideration.
