Very interesting, I'm currently weighing up how to approach toning down a resonance on our E30s exhaust. I had no idea flexis could be the solution. I was thinking softer mounts but you may have just saved me that wild goose chase. 😆 Cheers!
@@SPANNERRASH Hi, well it certainly worked for me, if your exhaust is vibrating like mine then I think it could sort it. I like E30's used to have a 325i sport, sold it just before the prices rocketed. Enjoyed the car but it needed some money spending on it. You have a big channel, congrats. 👍
Audi s4s with headers people call rasp, but is resonance vibrations. The downpipes the resonator itself vibrates like mad. It's super annoying at low rpm frequencies.
@@Hustler_state Interesting, is that a modification or did Audi design it like that ? I've never been interested in any exhaust noise of any kind personally. Induction is the best noise in my opinion.
Nice work. I'm wondering if the addition of a small concealed weight to the exhaust would have also changed it's resonant frequency? These are the types of question that keep me awake at 3:30 in the morning. I'm also staring into the abyss when it comes to my Rover GTi project.
@@TK42138 Yes I believe that could have worked too. I did briefly try wrapping some lead around the silencer to change the weight but it wasn't enough of a change frequency change. You can get exhaust resonators which interfere with the sound waves but I'm not sure if that would do the same thing. With an exposed exhaust system aesthetics play a part too. Nice to hear you have thoughts like this at 3.30am in the morning too! 😆 Ah the staring into the abyss 😆👍
@@bensclassicbodywork so a friend of mine has a YT channel, also working on his project, and he was asking for some feedback on his videos. My response? Screw what people think. As long as YOU are having a good time making the videos, then you will keep enjoying it, and the people that enjoy the content will be here with you. As soon as you start making the videos in some sort of specific way to appease the masses, you’re no longer doing it for you. The video part of your job I can only assume is a hobby, so enjoy the hobby!
@@bensclassicbodyworkI’ve just had a quick look again over all of your video titles. Most of them include “rust”, “repair”, “classic”, “bodywork”, “welding”, “restoration”. All things that get picked up and recommended by UA-cam to people with those sorts of interests…. Guess what this doesn’t include! It’s not that it wasn’t a good video, you just didn’t please the robot gods of popular buzz words.
@@6wheels646 Thanks very much for the kind feedback and you're absolutely right it should all be about making the videos you want to make and the numbers don't matter. I think UA-cam are good at making you take notice with how popular your video is, all the analytics you could possibly imagine and I'm a bit obsessed with watching that stuff. When a video does worse than you are used to I find it hard to not think negatively about it but you are absolutely right I shouldn't think that way. I think some People who post on UA-cam have achieved this state of mind, I need to work on it so that I'm not bothered either, it's the only way you can keep making videos long term. I also agree on the titles and this one being different, the oil burning stove did really bad for the first few days, but it went on to do very well indeed. The excitement of a video doing that well is quite addictive, trying to recreate that excitement is perhaps a recipe for disappointment. Thanks again Ben

Interesting, I have several cars with a, seemingly, unnecessary Flexi, this is probably why then. Thanks for posting.
It certainly could be the reason, I'll have to look more closely at car exhausts and see If I can spot other examples then.👍👍
Very Clever Solution!
@@jameshamm7167 Thank you, took me so long to work out a solution. 😆
It's been so much better to drive, used it loads over the summer.
Worth knowing. Thanks, Ben.

Great video Ben, interesting fix to that problem.
@@PaulineDixey thank you 😊
I could do a whole video on staring into the abyss. Best wishes.
😂😂👌👌

Love the channel and the content keep it coming 👍🏼
@@6wheels646 Really appreciate that comment, the video is doing poor at the moment so needed that. Cheers 🙂
