WHAT IS AN EXHAUST SYSTEM?
Vital for fuel economy and the environment, your vehicleâs exhaust system carries away harmful gases that are created during the combustion process. The exhaust system not only keeps dangerous gases like carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons from entering the cabin but it also "cleans up" the gases before they are released into the environment. Here are the components of an exhaust system:
- Manifold/Manifold Converters
- Flex Pipes
- Catalytic Converters
- Oxygen (O2) Sensor Ports
- Isolators/Gaskets/Clamps
- Resonator Assemblies/Pipe Accessories
- Mufflers/Muffler Assemblies

WHAT IS A RESONATOR?Located between the catalytic converter and the muffler, resonators help quiet the exhaust system by cancelling out a certain range of sounds frequencies. An empty chamber, exhaust sound travels through the resonator, bouncing and pulsating. Through this process, some of the sound gets cancelled out before moving to the muffler. Having some of the noise reduced makes the job of the muffler easier. |
SIGNS OF RESONATOR WEARResonators primarily deteriorate from the inside out due to the acidic moisture produced by the combustion process. Other signs you may need to replace your resonator include noise coming from the resonator, a foul odor from not properly filtering exhaust gases or reduced engine performance and decreased gas mileage. |
EASY TO INSTALLSafety is important when installing a resonator. Thatâs why Walker resonators feature meticulous pipe routing and OE-style hardware, flanges, and brackets for fast, easy installation while Walker welded resonator assemblies feature a customizable design for easy fitment (may require specialized fabrication and/or welding for installation). When installing a resonator or resonator assembly, follow these tips for a successful repair.

HOW TO TORQUE FLANGESProgressively tighten bolts on flanges to avoid exhaust system leaks, gasket amp; stud failure and premature system fatigue amp; failure. For example, if the nuts require 60-ft-lbs of torque, start by torquing all nuts to 20-ft-lbs, then 40-ft-lbs and finish at 60-ft-lbs. For Y-pipes secure both sides simultaneously, tightening in a rotating sequence between both pipes. For manifold converters, begin sequence in the middle amp; work evenly out between both sides. |
