...and yet another muffler question...

I'm really intrigued by the Aero Turbine muffler. I see that they also offer a resonator for wimps like me that don't like the constant drone at cruising speed.

 

Now the question of the hour... (drumroll)...

 

Does the resonator go before or after the muffler. Should the muffler be mounted closer or farther away from the engine?

Everything I've ever seen the resonator goes up stream from the muffler.

 

 

 

 

 

Yes and as close to tail pipe tip/end as possible too.

 

 

 

 

Ok, now I'm confused - before or after the muffler?

 

Upstream = before the muffler

Close to the tailpipe = after the muffler

 

Does it make a difference?

The "tail pipe tip" is at the end of the exhaust system on rear of vehical so you place it AFTER muffler and as close to the "end" of the system as possible. In the old days they used to put the resonator(s) near rear bumber under vehical with a short tail pipe tip attached to it sticking out the back of the vehical.

so you put on 2?

 

 

 

 

If you have dual exhaust you do, if it is a single you only need one. nearly 30 years ago I had a Chevy Impala ss with a 396 and dual exhaust with factory dual exhaust and resenators. It was a trip because it was quite yet very powerfull and the only thing you heard was the 4bbl moaning when you were into it.

I talked to a couple of muffler shops about the Aero Turbine muffler, they said if I want quiet rumble this is not the muffler, it's LOUD. They suggested a muffler called Flo Pro. I think I've noticed a couple of references to that muffler. Anybody care to comment on them. Their website shows some direct replacement for the GM HDs.

      The Peckish Synapse

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
