civin · 05-05-2006

Is the part below (OGTS) the same as the one in the attached picture. If not anyone know where to get one(the one in the picture)?

OGTS exhaust part:

10007 RESONATOR
Twin tip. Original replacement.

im sure i posted a reply to this but will do it again
i p/shopped the photo and it looks to be a home made one ,just a big pipe with 2 tips coming out of it

I am going to do my exhaust shortly - going custom with turbo muffler (dual outlets) with custom pipes going out the back to chrome tips. Using a header (thanks OpelWasp) remember - loud pipes save lives

The standard resonator is just a round or oval empty can often with only one outlet working! A 4" bit of stainless tube, squashed oval, with a couple of Headman Header resonator tips fitted will work as well as anything you can buy - and still looks relatively stock.

Jim, on Willit's original resonator, there were a couple of inserts, like the VW exhaust stingers welded inside the chrome tips. It took me a while with my handy dandy Dremel to get them out. It did increase the exhaust note, but not by too much. BTW the weld had been chromed over, so I am presuming they were original.

Thaose are the actual 'working' bits of the resonator - the Headman Header tips in the Product Review section are good replacements.

The resonated tips look nvery nice.
But I believe there are experienced opelers who say they rob power. There is a reason to not put the resonator(mini muffler) on the end...but I dont it.
Davegts in Colorado..the one who races...and also rally bob as I recall..did not like these ends

little off topic but does anyone know offhand what the stock head pipe diameters are ? I mean the 2 pipes that come down before they join into 1 pipe thanks
