누군가의 개조된 전차에 올라타서 시동을 켜고 페달을 밟았는데 자동차에서 일반적으로 들리는 표준 소리가 아닌 매우 드문 소리만 들리는 상황을 적어도 한 번 이상 경험했을 가능성이 있습니다. 생산하다.
그 이유가 궁금하다면 차량 후면, 더 정확하게는 배기 시스템에서 무언가가 진행되고 있을 가능성이 높습니다. Motoring Junction의 이 기사에서 , 차량에 발생하는 최고 또는 최악의 상황 중 하나인 직선 파이프 배기 장치를 살펴보겠습니다.
직선 파이프 배기관은 쇼룸을 떠날 때 자동차에서 볼 수 있는 평범한 구형 표준 배기관을 대체합니다. 일부 매니아에게는 차량의 배기음과 성능이 배출 기준보다 훨씬 더 중요하지만 많은 사람들은 이를 무책임하다고 생각합니다. 요즘 거의 모든 차량의 소리가 좋지 않고 제어된다는 사실을 무시할 수 없습니다.
산업 표준 배기 시스템은 차량의 소리를 억제하고 억제하도록 설계되었습니다. 말할 것도 없이 DPF 필터와 촉매 변환기 등이 차량 아래에 매달려 있는 무거운 설정입니다.
실제로 표준 시스템을 제거하고 직선 파이프 배기 시스템을 설치하는 경우에만 가능합니다. 얼마나 큰 차이가 있는지 깨닫게 됩니다. 직선 파이프 배기구는 표준 시스템에 의해 부과된 제한을 제거하고 자동차가 가능한 모든 엔진 음악을 만들 수 있도록 합니다. 순수주의자와 트랙 데이 애호가들은 확실히 그것을 좋아합니다. Straight pipe exhaust is also referred to as full system exhaust.
At the root, straight pipe exhausts are not that different from standard exhausts, except the exhaust pipe runs all the way from the exhaust headers to the end, without any catalytic converter or muffler working to reduce the noise (we’ll get to the environmental implications of doing this in a bit).
So now, there’s nothing stopping the exhaust gases from running freely through and flowing out the exhaust tip. This results in the sound that motorheads love and go crazy about, and most older neighbors hate.
Now, there are a lot of people love straight pipe exhausts and another bunch of people who hate them. Let’s take a look at why people are at such extreme poles when it comes to these noise minting bad boys.
Increase in Performance
This may come as a shock but getting rid of the catalytic converter helps the car minimize a lot of back pressure resulting in increased torque and higher horsepower. For many motorheads, this is an absolute no brainer – more horsepower equals better vehicle. In many instances, there is also a notable increase in fuel economy.
Looks Matter
This is a deal-breaker for many streetcar fans. There is a belief that a car must reflect your personality, and you don’t get this with cars fresh out of the factory. With standard exhaust pipes, you don’t get that appeal which would make you stand out from the crowd and express yourself. Straight pipe exhausts seem to give motorheads the ability to show off their true personality and make their car truly their own.
Letting The Engine Roar
As we mentioned earlier, the engine is at its most natural, loudest form when it isn’t held back by the muffler. This is a major reason why most fans prefer a straight pipe system. There’s something about the sound of an untamed engine that just feels right. And that’s what gets motorheads going.
Reduced Weight
When you take off weight from your vehicle, it not only becomes lighter but also faster and more efficient. Hence manufacturers always take this into consideration while designing a vehicle. When you change your exhaust to a straight pipe, you are shedding additional weight, thus making the car a lot more enjoyable. This is also one of the reasons why straight pipe exhausts are an attractive option for many buyers.
Extremely Loud
When we tell you that installing these straight pipe exhausts will most probably result in your neighbors calling the cops on you, we are not kidding. Getting rid of the muffler will make your engine a lot louder than you expect, and will draw a huge amount of attention as a result, both good and bad.
Not Good For The Environment
With the catalytic converter not in place to filter out the harmful components (CO2 and Sulphur to name a few ) in the exhaust gas, they easily mix themselves into the atmosphere and cause a great deal of discomfort in the long run. Phenomena like acid rain and global warming are a few effects of such harmful emissions. Straight pipe exhausts, therefore, get a lot of flak from environmental activists and you might want to think twice before setting up a straight pipe if your neighbour is an activist.
Very Expensive
Straight pipe exhausts do not come cheap. Apart from the equipment, you will need a professional to take care of the installation because the process is certainly easier said than done. And even if you somehow do have the mechanical calibre to perform the installation yourself, the equipment will surely put a considerably large hole in your wallet. Make sure you keep that in mind before jumping in just to make your vehicle sound cooler.
Resale Value Takes A Hit
In many cities and countries across the globe, straight pipe exhausts are illegal. In fact, many countries including USA have banned customisations of any kind on your vehicle, in order to safeguard certain laws and control crime rates. This is one of the reasons why your vehicle’s resale value will take a massive hit once you’ve customised your exhausts.
Closing Thoughts
Now that you know what a straight pipe exhaust is and how it is better – and in certain situations worse – than a standard exhaust system, choosing whether or not to upgrade to one ultimately lies with you. If you’re not one to care much about your vehicle’s resale value, and you love to hear the sound of an untamed engine, you can definitely go forward without second thoughts because a straight pipe is sure to leave you satisfied for ages.
