A resonator won't affect power much at all really, so long as you get one in the same size as your exhaust (3" for example).

I just had a small straight through (very slight offset) 3" muffler (about 20cm or 8" long with a side expansion chamber) thrown on my R32 and I haven't noticed any power difference. It's massively quieter now, no drone and I can drive it harder now without the po-po looking out their office window everytime I gun it = more fun.

All for the good price of $130 including raising the centre section of my exhaust which hung low, and replacing some hangers/rubbers.

Theoretically a little bit, but neglible in your case. Resonators just change/shift the sound of your exhaust system (natural resonance due to size and shape of exhaust system) to another frequency. Some times much quieter, or sometimes making it sound like a hyundi excel with a 6" paint tin stuck on the back

      And I just realised that that advice is slightly nonsensical for a GTR, because you need 2 of them. But it is otherwise true.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Having had a reasonable look at the car, I'll be able to remove the (one time) rams and retract the hinge (they are held in the down location by a tiny (m3?) sacrificial screw) which will get it physically back in shape. From there if you remove the rams you need a resistor to turn off the airbag light (as Mark said, there are plug in kits and I might go that way because its reversible). And...per all the threads on here, even if you have the resistors to turn off the airbag light, the bonnet light will stay on as it writes to the airbag computer history - that is either replace the airbag controller, reprogam the EPROM (if I can work out how), or remove the globe from the dash. Having seen how sensitive this system is, if I had my time over I'd pre-emptively remove the rams, even on a road car, because this is all a very unnecessary pain in the arse. Reminds me, time to go and have a look at the Fuga too....

      Nah, lots of insurance repairs on V36 and V37 for pedestrians deployments. Reasons ranging from possums, to extremely severe potholes have deployed them. However, paying for the full repair can still be upto $5k AU some people have noted!
