A resonator helps quiet noise caused by airflow by forcing it through some baffles and causing the sound waves to form a destructive pattern of waves.
You can get one at your local O'Reilly Auto Parts store or online:

It just quiets the exhaust system down and yes you can get one at any parts store.

Can i buy antifreeze for vw at a auto parts store besides the car dealer?
The so-called "universal" or "all" anti-freeze/summer coolant is not a good thing to mix with the VW/Audi coolant. Late model VW's use G12++ coolant, which supercedes the previous G12 coolant.
G12++ can be mixed with G12, I'm not 100% certain if it can mix with the old VW "blue" for older cars.
You can purchase the G12++ at some imported parts (spares) store that specialize in European or esp. German imports. Some websites sell imported coolant that is formulated to meet either G12 or G12++ specs.
If your car requires G12, don't mix it with something else other than G12 or G12++. You could an expensive repair as history has shown that other coolants don't mix. On some bogs, people claim that usage of the .wrong coolant can cause the mixture to jell, I've never seen that, but I suppose its possible.
What I can confirm is that overheating has happened when the G12/G12++ is mixed with the wrong stuff. So, do your self a favour and buy the right stuff either from a dealership, parts specialist, or on the web at sites like: www.blauparts.com or www.germanautoparts.com.
By the way, you do know that the power steering and transmission fluids for most late model VW is also special and not easily found, don't you? I've dealt with more failures to steering racks because people added the wrong fluid time and time again. Always carry extra power steering fluid with you along with the coolant and trans fluid in case you need a top off. This is especially important if you use a quick lube place; more wrong fluids have been added by quick lube places because they don't know that cars use special fluids. Just a word to the wise. You want avoid a $1000 steering rack replacement!
Hope this helps, a car nut.Can i buy antifreeze for vw at a auto parts store besides the car dealer?
Yes, you can. In fact, avoid buying things from the dealership because they usually charge too much. A good brand of antifreeze is Zerex. I will post some links below so that you know what type to use. If your car has never had the coolant flushed, you should flush the radiator as well.
"a car nut" is dead on.
If you're doing a full flush and will be filling it ONLY with some Prestone "All vehicle" stuff your car would probably be fine, but mixing the factory stuff and junk aftermarket stuff can cause some real nightmares.Can i buy antifreeze for vw at a auto parts store besides the car dealer?
Get the anti-freeze that said 'For ALL vehicles'. Old anti-freeze formula are not recommended for modern VW. They cost about the same so get the 'ALL'.
ROFL....my first thought was that VWs do not use anti-freeze as their engines are air cooled.
Kind of shows you how old I am......LOL...

What's the best business structure for auto parts store?
LLC, INC, ...?
Thank youWhat's the best business structure for auto parts store?
LLC. It gives your personal assets the same protection as a corporation, but is easier to setup.What's the best business structure for auto parts store?
A corporation, chartered by the state in which it is headquartered, is considered by law to be a unique entity, separate and apart from those who own it. A corporation can be
taxed; it can be sued; it can enter into contractual agreements. The owners of a corporation are its shareholders. The shareholders elect a board of directors to oversee the major policies and decisions. The corporation has a life of its own and does not dissolve when ownership changes.
The LLC is a hybrid business structure now permissible in most states. Its designed to provide the limited liability features of a corporation and the tax efficiencies and operational flexibility of a partnership. Formation is more complex and formal than that of a general partnership. The owners are members, and the duration of the LLC is usually determined when the organization papers are filed. LLC's must not have more than two of the four characteristics that define corporations: Limited liability to the extent of assets; continuity of life; centralization of management; and free transferability of ownership interests. Owners have limited personal liability for business debts even if they participate in management. Profit and loss can be allocated differently than ownership interests. IRS rules now allow LLCs to choose between being taxed as partnership or corporation.
Take into account the following when deciding business formation:
Your vision regarding the size and nature of your business.
The level of control you wish to have.
The level of "structure" you are willing to deal with.
The business's vulnerability to lawsuits.
Tax implications of the different ownership structures.
Expected profit (or loss) of the business.
Whether or not you need to re-invest earnings into the business.
Your need for access to cash out of the business for yourself.
Advantages of an LLC :
Has no limit to the number of owners
Owners can report profit and loss on their individual tax returns
Not required to hold annual meetings or record minutes
Advantages of a Corporation:
May issue shares of stock to attract investors
Corporate income splitting may help lower overall tax liability
Disadvantages of an LLC:
Cannot engage in corporate income splitting to lower tax liability
Cannot issue stock
Disadvantages of a Corporation:
Double taxation of corporate profits and shareholder dividends
Must hold annual meetings and record minutes
S Corporations have restrictions on number of owners

Was in an auto parts store today and thy said it was ok to mix synthetic oil with regular oil?
Now I would like all you mechanics. What do you think
Ok or not okWas in an auto parts store today and thy said it was ok to mix synthetic oil with regular oil?
I can't understand why so many people want to put absolute confidence it whatever "THEY" say, when "THEY" can't even be identified. Or if you feel safe following "Their" advice, go for it. Or better yet, If you're willing to trust the mechanical needs of your automobile to typed messages on the internet, more power to you. Personally I'd take my car to my mechanic and have my oil changed out for fear of all the unknowns that could possibly happen from blending oil and synthetics. Best of luck to you and your car with your decision.
It's okay, but not really suggested. Because if you have synthetic oil in car, then adding regular oil with thicken it up and make it loose some of its special synthetic lubricating ability.
It's worse to mix oil weights (20W50, 10W30, etc). Engines nowadays are very specific. Their tolerances are marginal, meaning the engines are made so that there's little room for mistakes or changes. If an engine is made to use only 20W50, then that's what you should use. If you use a different oil, the motor will run, but not to the best as it was designed.
In old days, 50 years ago, cars weren't built so precisely. So you could mix oil weights with no problem. But modern cars are much more needing specific oil weights.
Now, if you've got regular oil in car and add some synthetic oil, as long as it's same weight, then that helps the regular oil a little bit, just a little bit, by thinning it so it moves easier in motor.
But it's just better to keep same kind of oil in engine and not mix oils or weights. YOu can mix brands, but even then, it changes the oil that was originally in the motor. I have found that Castrol regular oil works great for my old car, even gives me couple extra mpg. I used to use Walmart brand oil and it was okay, but Catrol works great in my car. Now, if I put a qt of the walmart oil in all my castrol oil, it'd not get me as good of performance if I had only Castrol oil in it.
It's just better for the machine if you kept the oil the same. Whether different kind, weight, or brand.
But yes, you can add synthetic with regular oil.Was in an auto parts store today and thy said it was ok to mix synthetic oil with regular oil?
Yes, they are fine to mix. There is no big advantage to mixing but no harm either.
All modern motor oils are cross compatible. You can safely mix synthetic with conventional, mix brands, and mix grades (5W-30 with a 10W-40, for example). There is no logical reason to do that but if you are just topping off your oil and need to use whatever, that's fine. Stick with the good brand name oils and you won't have a problem.
I only put synthetic oil in my truck. I was told keep it synthetic or regular. Don't mix.Was in an auto parts store today and thy said it was ok to mix synthetic oil with regular oil?
I would say that 1qt regular oil to 4qts of syntec would be ok but if I was doing an oil change I would try to stay with
Only one kind of oil.
You can buy synthetic blend so why would it not be ok the mix.......md
Here is a total news flash. Today, all IMPORTANT oils are car specific. If you READ the labels, on the back it will tell you which cars the oil was designed for. For example, oil for VW requires oil that meets specification 502/505. Oil for Asian cars must meet JASO specs. If the oil is for GM, it will say so ON THE BACK of the container. SEE??? Chrysler and Honda, in general, use the same oil "qualities". Get it??? by the way, it IS ok to mix regular with synthetic. My advice, though, is to stick with 100% synthetic since it will NOT make sludge or cause lubrication issues later on. Regular oils ALWAYS do! GET SMART, and read the LABELS!!!!
