Hello,
I'm extremely curious as to your professional thoughts on how the car structure's strength and stiffness weaken over time/mileage. If we take a very basic and simplified example of, say, 2015 Honda Accord. Let's assume that initial stiffness was at 30,000 lb.ft and that the car is driven...
@SomptingGuy
I understand:) But when OEM muffler is twice larger in diameter than an aftermarket (I'm talking about axel-backs only here) the claims that they are more free flowing seems logical, at least on the surface. Could you please tell me why it isn't so? Thank You
@hemi
Would aftermarket "louder" axel-back exhaust qualify for "reduced exhaust restriction"? Let's take 2014 Mazda 6 with a 2.5L NA engine as an example.?
@Greg
No, I don't think it causes any restriction - I do not have an aftermarket intake on my car, as I don't think an aftermarket one...
Gregory, thanks!
What would be a counterargument to the claim that OEM intake is also tuned for relative quietness, and therefore its restrictive, and therefore an aftermarket intake - which is louder - is less restrictive, so it adds 3-10 horsepower. It sounds intuitive, but I know there is a...
Hello to people who are TANGIBLY USEFUL to society! I have great admiration for engineers and in my next life will be one:)
I have a question to which I am not able to find an answer, and I have been searching for several years now, and actually have run out of words and key-phrases to input...
