Nope, a real resonator is a glass pack or small muffler looking thing, designed to mellow out the tone of your exhaust. Used in conjunction with your catalytic converter (emissions) and your muffler (self explainatory), the resonator attempts to break up the sound of each combustion into more of a hum.

If you put your lips together and blow, out comes THBBBBBBT!.. Do the same thing to a horn, and you get a pleasant, solid tone instead. Same thing, basically.

Perhaps this means he is willing to learn, thus has hope?

Time will tell.
