What is a free flowing exhaust?
A free flow exhaust, simply put, is an exhaust that decreases the amount of back pressure in the exhaust system and possibly also providing a smoother passage for the exhaust.
Does a freeflow exhaust increase power?
Purpose. Free flow exhaust systems are designed for looks and increased efficiency and power in vehicles. They weigh less than standard exhaust systems, which helps account for increased fuel economy and improvement in acceleration.
Does free flow exhaust affect engine?
But then these exhausts give you the decibels you are looking for, but the back force that the free flow exhausts causes, is not created in the engine. This results in a drop in the overall performance of the motorcycle.
Will a bigger exhaust use more fuel?
Louder exhaust does not use more fuel. In fact- there’s no correlation between them. A car engine creates combustion to deliver power – which generates a lot of noise. An exhaust system is equipped with a muffler to reduce this noise.
What’s better straight pipe or muffler?
Straight pipes offer better flow than many popular performance mufflers. This can be helpful if you’re trying to maximize performance and fuel mileage. However, high quality performance mufflers such as Paradox Performance Mufflers offer flow just as good -and sometimes better- than straight pipes.
How do you increase exhaust flow?
When your engine is at low RPM, the amount of exhaust gases leaving is low, so the velocity it exits the exhaust is low. You can increase this velocity by using a smaller pipe, but this will create a restriction for higher RPM.
Do resonators restrict flow?
But as opposed to a muffler, a resonator simply TUNES the EXHAUST. Most popular mufflers do not restrict exhaust flow dramatically – and that includes chambered mufflers that are often wrongly accused of inhibiting exhaust flow and decreasing potential horsepower.
