Does the Exhaust Tailpipe Have a Significant Impact on Exhaust Sound?
1 Answers
The exhaust tailpipe has a considerable impact on the exhaust sound. This is because the mid and tail sections contain two mufflers, and if the tailpipe is damaged, the exhaust sound will become louder. Introduction to Exhaust Systems: The exhaust system is divided into three sections: the front section (header), mid section, and tail section. The front section is the starting point of the vehicle's exhaust system, directly connected to the exhaust manifold and typically includes a catalytic converter. Factory-installed catalytic converters often have restricted flow, so upgrading the header can significantly improve exhaust flow and, to some extent, enhance power output. The mid and tail sections have a major influence on exhaust sound because they contain two mufflers. If you want to increase the exhaust sound, removing one of the mufflers is an option. Main Factors Affecting Exhaust Sound: The primary components affecting a vehicle's exhaust sound are the mufflers in the mid and tail sections. A full exhaust system upgrade includes the entire exhaust setup. If you choose a model designed for louder exhaust sound, the volume will naturally increase. Even if only the mid and tail sections are modified without changing the header, the exhaust sound will still become louder.
