Why isn't the sound loud after modifying the exhaust?
1 Answers
Modified exhaust doesn't sound loud because the muffler hasn't been removed. It's recommended to remove the muffler and then rev the engine in first gear to definitely get a louder sound. Introduction to Automotive Exhaust Systems: The automotive exhaust system primarily discharges waste gases produced by engine operation while reducing pollution and noise from the emitted exhaust. Automotive exhaust systems are mainly used in light vehicles, micro-cars, buses, motorcycles, and other motor vehicles. Sources of Automotive Noise: A car is a comprehensive noise source comprising various types of noise with different characteristics. Since none of the noise sources in a car are completely sealed (some are only partially sealed), the overall noise radiation from the vehicle depends on the sound levels, characteristics of each source, and their interactions.
