i‘ve heard that if you change the stock exhaust system of a car you lose torque when you incremente too much the diameter of the pipe or if the length of the pipe is too short. Is this true? if the answer is yes, why does it happen.Any links?
It really depends on the engine - I've seen a lot of dyno charts where an engine picked up torque throughout the entire RPM range from a performance exhaust. The problem happens on some engines with a large amount of camshaft overlap. This means that the intake valves and exhaust valves are open at the same time for a significant period. If the exhaust backpressure is too low, the air and fuel coming in the intake valve can get sucked right out the exhaust valve. Since backpressure climbs with RPM, this effect only happens at low RPM. Like I said, though, it doesn't happen on every engine.
Well, yes, in certain cases. If your not doing anything else to the engine, it might lose a little. Thats because of this term called back pressure. Like some 4cyl cars, with the 5 exhaust, there basically is no back pressure to work with. Length of pipe doesn't really matter, is more diameter.
dolo spyne is easily the best stick i've ever used. it's so well balanced. you get an amazing slap shot, snap shot, and wrist shot with supreme accuracy. you get more whip to your shot too because of spyne technology. one 95 is a good stick as well. but the dolo spyne is easily the better choice.
Hello, exhausts introduce a restriction to the engine to push out burnt mixture from the cylinders. This resistance depends from the RPM. A small-diameter, long exhaust is very restrictive, therefore is helps at lower engine speeds to maintain torque of the engine for it helps the gases to stay in the cylinder during the valve-overlap phase rather than letting it to the exhaust, as the piston tries to compress. This also prevents some exhasut gas to exit the cylinders, but that results an EGR (exhaust gas recirculation), which improves emission. However, this long restrictive exhaust emits even larger resistance as the RPM goes up, therefore reducing power as the RPM increases. That's why tuned engines have large-diameter pipes to permit free gas flow, but which also lets mixture to exit prematurely (without combustion), because tuned engines have camshafts with long valve-overlap periods and opening times. The length of the pipes affect the 'resonant' range of the exhaust systems, the RPM range at which the exhaust exhibits it's most positve effect on using a certain cylinders' pressure wave to help another cylinder. You don't necessarily loose torque with the change, maybe you gain more at another RPM than you loose elsewhere in the RPM range. Regards
