Every engine needs an exhaust pipe to allow the burned mixture of air gasoline to come out from the main chamber of the engine.Aftermarket exhausts may be made from steel, aluminium, titanium, or carbon fiber.
Every type of engines vary in kind or type of exhaust used. For example a twin cylinder engine can have two separate exhaust system or it can have also a single exhaust section known as two-into-one.
But for our scooter with only one cylinder, it only comes with a single exhaust system. So the question will be what are the things to remember for a perfect choice of exhaust system.
Here in the Philippines we have two types of exhaust pipe and they are called as Power Pipes and Open Pipes (Mufflers). Lets start with the Power Pipe exhaust system.
POWER PIPES
What is a power pipe or how do it look likes ? Power pipes looks like also a little the same with your stock pipe. They only comes with different designs and styles. They consist of a more bigger pipe than the stock, heat guard and a little opening in the end most.
Use of power pipes will defend on how powerful your engine is. Not all power pipes are compatible with the engine.
So you should how you will make your engine run in its best performance with the pipe.
Just be sure to know what is the power of your engine and could the pipe you would choose will be compatible for it. You can ask your mechanic on what will be their choice for your engine and choose on what will be your choice too.
OPEN PIPES (MUFFLERS)
Maybe some of you already know or does have an idea about what is an open pipe. We are generally talking with pipes with noise performance. These pipes are the one with big elbows and large opening tip that produces a very loud noise.
These pipes are highly recommended on racing events because it can give you the strong and powerful performance. With its large pipe and tip opening it allows the burned gas to go out easily from the engine. But in contrary it also gives you headache with it sounds.
Some government agencies already gives regulations about using this kind of pipes and sometimes prohibited in some areas.
It is your choice to pick for your exhaust system. But I hardly recommend you to use the power pipe rather than open pipe.
