Ive been told i need to install a resonator on my austin 1300, just failed wof for being too loud.
Basicly the pipe from manifold is 1 1/4 then goes into 1 3/4 pipe with a muffer slapped in the middle.
My question is what size inlet outlet should i have on the resonator for when i cut out a piece of 1 3/4 pipe should i go for 2", same size or smaller!

Smaller will maker it cackle on off throttle & tinny ON Bigger will make it sound like a straw in a drain pipe 1 1/2slightly smaller then current. Exhaust gas's contract as they cool & move along the pipe. Reducing the pipe size helps to maintain an equal consistent back pressure
WHAT "exactly" will happen to the sound is anybodys guess until you start testing

BMC 1300s only had one muffler in the system and were never very quiet, are the decibel nazis picking on old cars now!

Op's exhaust pipe would be something like 50% bigger then factory size. Factory muffler was normally the best part of a 1m long

What type & design muffler are you currently running. If it's a tube muffler (coby type) has it got an empty chamber inside 1 end or is it fully piped

To really understand the basics of a hot air exhaust system, 1st you need a basic understanding of thermodynamics

Oh right - seems like mostly Hot Air to me.
