Chevy CK Pickup Mufflers & Resonators

A muffler is designed to lessen engine noises to acoustically appropriate levels. The muffler quiets your Chevy CK pickup’s engine by lowering the sound pressures emitted. Mufflers are constructed with a variety of chambers, designed to expand exhaust gasses as they begin to pass through them. The chambers offer perforated baffles or tubes, or even both. Exhaust gasses pass through the perforations, which results in their expansion. And as the gas begins to expand, its pressure begins to lower, and so does the sound level. To add to all that, OE-supplied mufflers are lined or packed with materials like fiberglass as an additional measure to absorb the sound in the muffler and to emit lower noise.

The resonator is designed to cancel out a range of engine sound frequencies. In itself, sound is just a pressure wave, which is emitted at a frequency, while sound waves have various amplitudes. If there are sound waves of exactly the same frequency and size that meet up, they will begin to cancel each other off. And which range of sound frequencies will be canceled is up to automotive engineers. Most of the time, they choose that very range, which is most unpleasant to hear, and design a resonator to cancel off that sound frequency. Sounds that are canceled off are harsh noises or ranges, exactly where the exhaust note is an irritating buzz or a loud drone.
