- Exhaust System Technology-4Top Fuel and Funny CarAt the top levels of drag racing, in particular Top Fuel and Funny-Car, the exhaust systems might seem very simple. The header systems, known as "zoomies," consist of a single pipe on each cylinder, dumping straight into the atmosphere, with each tube bent so that it faces upwaProducts News November 13, 2018

- Exhaust System Technology-3Figure 6Example of a 4-2-1 Header SystemThe tuning of this type of system is not terribly intuitive. Several well-placed experts in Cup told me that their teams have consumed large amounts of modeling time using very sophisticated (and expensive) simulation software to arrive "in the ball park", andProducts News October 26, 2018
- Exhaust System Technology-2Exhaust MaterialsUsually, header systems are fabricated from welded-up collections of cuts from pre-formed "U" bends and straight segments of tubing in the chosen material. There are several reasons for that, but the most persuasive is the fact that, in order to achieve the design configuration, theProducts News October 22, 2018
- MufflerMuffler, also called silencer, device through which the exhaust gases from an internal-combustion engine are passed to attenuate (reduce) the airborne noise of the engine. To be efficient as a sound reducer, a muffler must decrease the velocity of the exhaust gases and either absorb sound waves or cProducts News October 13, 2018
- How Exhaust Systems WorkIt all starts in the engineIn order to understand how the exhaust of a vehicle works, there must be a basic understanding of the engine as a whole. The internal combustion engine in its simplest form is a large air pump. It gathers in air, mixes it with fuel, adds a spark and ignites the fuel and aiProducts News October 09, 2018
- What is the Exhaust System?IntroductionThe exhaust system in an automobile is designed to drive the exhaust gases out in an efficient manner. Most current vehicles direct the exhaust gases to run a turbocharger and then release them back into the atmosphere. The turbocharger uses these gases to push compressed air into the enProducts News September 28, 2018
- How Does an Exhaust System Work?A car's exhaust system consists of several components that work in harmony to funnel gases from the engine's combustion chamber out the back end of the car.If one of those parts isn't working properly, it can cause the whole system to run less efficiently.“The exhaust system serves two main functioProducts News September 27, 2018
- Exhaust SystemIt's an age-old question that many have asked. Will an aftermarket exhaust be worth the expense? While they definitely can be, an important question to ask yourself is do you care more about the deeper sound they're designed to produce, or the added performance gained from being less restrictive?
