I wonder how much these "resonators" are tuned to a specific tire and even tire pressure?

Are they going to make the noise worse if you get the wrong replacement tire that has a different rubber compound or sidewall stiffness? If you under or overinflated your tires?



The original Honda piece makes it seem like the size correlates to the resonant frequency.

> As the tire size is known, pipe resonance frequency can be determined. By generating sound that cancels out that frequency, pipe resonance can be suppressed.
