Exhaust systems are an essential part of the vehicle so that they can run smoothly and efficiently. Motorcycle enthusiasts and people with strong hands-on skills will replace their exhaust systems according to their preferences and styles. However, it's necessary to understand the following details before choosing one.
Types of motorcycle exhaust pipes
Slip-On Exhausts
A slip-on exhaust pipe is the most common type of exhaust system. It’s a great choice if you want to improve your bike’s performance without investing in a new motor. This type of exhaust is usually installed on the stock manifold of bikes by adjusting of a stainless steel or titanium elbow, so it is so easy to install. Besides, it has all the style benefits of a full system, as well as all of the noise benefits, because this is where the noise is modified on your motorcycle right before it exits the exhaust pipe. The most biggest advantage is that they are cheaper than a complete exhaust system.
Full exhaust Pipes
Full exhaust pipes include all the necessary elements to replace the stock exhaust of your bike without modifying the original components. people often use lighter materials than standard manifolds to improve their performance. It improves low and mid torque where you use the engine most, allows less heat into shock, and reduces shock overheating and lose damping when riding. Not only the weight will be light but also help you get better sound.
Will the Exhaust Pipes Turn Blue?
If i say not, then i must be a liar, since every pipes will turn the color into blue after a few time usage. We know that stainless steel will be corroded and rusted under the action of extreme heat, water, and salt, so it is pretty normal for the exhaust pipe to turn blue, cuz the extreme heat passing through them.
The difference between changing the tail and full pipes.
To put it simply, the tail section occupies the largest volume and weight of the entire exhaust system. Modifying the tail section does not require adjustment, It can quickly reduce the weight, and the sound wave will change by changing the internal pipe diameter. Modifying the whole section of the exhaust pipe needs computer, which can better increase the power output. Of course, changing the tail can also increase the power too, but it is not as obvious as the full pipe; However, the price of changing the full pipe will be higher than that of the tail section.
What are the points to modify the exhaust pipe?
First of all, Not the larger the diameter of the exhaust pipe, the greater the horsepower will have; The high speed requires fast exhaust, and the large diameter is effective, the low speed requires the pipe to be reduced to maintain continuity, so the larger diameter will uncertainly bring more power and horsepower comes.
Secondly, the materials have iron, stainless steel, carbon fiber, and titanium alloy. Iron pipes are cheap but have insufficient heat dissipation; Stainless steel is more durable than iron pipes and has better thermal conductivity, and the most common exhaust pipe material is moderately priced. Carbon fiber and titanium alloy can effectively reduce weight, and the anti-scald effect will be better.
