2006 Chevy Corvette

A peek through the inlet of the CORSA Power-Pulse Reflective Sound Cancellation (RSC) muffler reveals a secret to its awesome flow: it's absolutely a straight shot through! This doesn't mean these patented mufflers are nonfunctional, however; though hard to pick out here, there are passages leading perpendicular to the exhaust path near the muffler's inlet. Sound waves entering these passages encounter chambers where they are reflected 180 degrees out of phase and back out, canceling themselves and other sound waves traveling through the exhaust. The geometry of the chambers is specifically designed to deal with the sound frequencies responsible for the annoying drone exhibited by other types of mufflers, yet leave the good sounds intact.
