Resonator exhaust

A resonator dampens the sound of the engine. Without an exhaust resonator there will be a lot more noise from the engine of your car. This silencer is mounted between the catalytic converter and the exhaust backbox. However, some cars do not have a catalytic converter. If this is the case, the resonator is mounted between the front silencer and the exhaust backbox.

Failing resonator

A number of defects may occur, defects that can cause wear or mechanical damage. Parts of the resonator can also burn up or get clogged. This may cause the resonator to leak. Causes can be rust, sudden temperature fluctuations, road salt, oil or water in the system and low quality fuels. Symptoms of a defective resonator can be either one, or a combination of:

A lot of noise;
Power loss;
Smoke (places other than the tail pipe);
Smell of exhaust fumes in your car;
Sudden speed changes;
Overheating motor;
Soot deposits under the car.

Replacing resonator

Do you recognize any of these symptoms? Then you can undertake a couple of things. First, do a manual inspection of the parts. Look for damage, soot or oxidation. If the resonator does show one of these signs, it is due for replacement.

Are you planning to replace the resonator yourself? When replacing the exhaust resonator, we recommend that you also replace clamps, gaskets and rubbers at the same time. This way you create an optimal lifespan for your new resonator. There is no other way to do this other than using a car lift or a garage jack. Replacing the part takes about an hour for the intermediate DIY mechanic. It is a lot cheaper to replace the part yourself. At your local garage costs can quickly run-up.

Resonator exhaust

The exhaust of your car not only has an end silencer, but also a resonator or middle silencer. The resonator exhaust is required to further dampen the sound of the engine. The resonator is mounted between the catalytic converter and the exhaust backbox. Just as any part this one can also break. A failing resonator can be recognised by one of the following symptoms: a lot of noise, power loss and smoke in places other than the tailpipe. Do you notice that the middle silencer is broken? Quickly order a new one at Winparts, you can choose between many top brands, such as Walker, Bosal and Blue Print.
