Do you mean the straight pipe has small perforations in it?

You get an A for the day. That's exactly what it is. And used in the induction system, it can stifle annoying drone and increase midrange torque.

guys guys guys.....resonator removal alone cannot emulate 350z exhaust tone. That exhaust tone is from Renault 3.5L V6 engine. Which is very well knowns for its sound.

Im sure it gets more deep throaty at low rpm and possibly give you more sound at higher rpm but if someone wants to replicate 350z sound then they should go buy 350z becasue two cars have completely different engine which generates completely different exhaut notes.

2 completely different engines will never have the exact same exhaust note. When the resonator on an S2000 is removed the sound you hear at low rpm's is a low deep hum. The 350Z also has a different low deep hum but a low deep hum nonetheless and that's where my comparison lies.
