honda eh? I hear pep boys has some decent stuff.....
in all reality, to understand exhaust systems and find out how people have made it work better, I sugest you find a book on it.

LOL... love the sarcasm...
We are just building a formula race car from scratch sponsered by a bunch of people, and the engine they usually use as a Honda CBR bike engine, I cant complain, it gets the car going 0-60 in 3.5 or so...
It just for some research, thanks again

What school project are you doing this for? Sounds pretty cool. There is more to it than just exhaust design. Exhaust systems are designed based on a series of parametes just like anything else. One must understand fluid dynamics and compressible and non compressible flow. You also have to understand shock flow, heat and mass transfer as well. These are all things that you do not learn by reading a book. Each exhaust system is different based on what and how the motor is used for. Engine speed, load, and fuel consumption are all criterea that are designed into automotive parts. You have to determin how you want your engine to function and what kind of efficiencies does it need to maintain. You also have to take into account the thermal cycling of the exhaust and how that has an effect on the material and objects surounding them.

I am a second year student at RIT, and we enter into the formula and baja competitions every year. They're awesome to watch, I wish that I wasn't spending so much time writing code so that I could get involved.
