Proof of this oscillation of air can be heard in the tone or frequency emitted by doing so. In the case of the products at hand, exhaust gasses are blown across built-in resonance chambers, and the frequency of pressure waves created therein pushes exhaust gas through the tubing and out into the atmosphere. Now, if Motordyne has one thing working toward their credit, it's that they're by no means an upstart company. Remember the plenum spacers that have become mainstays in 350Z tuning for their simple, low-buck design and solid power gains? Turns out Motordyne owner Tony Colette was a rocket scientist in his previous profession (no, seriously-he was), and he invented those. "Not only will the resonance chambers increase scavenging and power," Tony promises about his new products, "but the titanium tips on the Shockwave exhaust also reduce pressure drop by gradually expanding the exhaust gas to recover its dynamic pressure," which, he claims, also helps increase scavenging

Thanks for the explanation! I learn something new everyday!
