Title: Resonator for 1993 U300
Post by: kb0zke on October 09, 2021, 04:00:16 pm
I'm thinking about replacing the muffler on our coach with a resonator. I'm assuming that someone has already done this, so what all do I need, and where should I look for the necessary parts?

There is a big truck repair place not too far away (maybe 10 minutes from the storage place). Would I be smarter just to take the coach to them and let the young guys do the work, or is this something that an old guy can do?

This is a 5", they have a 4" to.  A 90 and a 45 and some flex pipe and your ready.

Dave the hardest part will be getting that old trash can off that 92 it is heavy and hard to handle. Stop by the muffler shop and talk to Dave he's the owner he might be able to help u out.he's across the street from the cenex.

David,

The Detroit exhaust pipe is all 5 inches so the resonator has to be 5" in, 5" out but watch the inside as some resonators are only 5" at the ends but smaller inside..

Interesting David, why the change?
Been considering it myself.
