i bought the GT-R V-spec last night and purchased all the upgrade available.
Then i found out that the handsome V-spec exhaust pipe became two pathetic tiny hose on the left. i don't understand why the hp can increase by 100 when you cut the number of exhaust pipes by half and reduce the diameter by 70%..
Anyway,i switched back to the original exhaust and won the supercar festival with 100 hp less.
And the same thing happens to Maserati GTS~~~~ darn ugly Titanium sxhaust
 
Plus the noise of the car changes to a generic Racing Exhaust noise :( but it adds HP why many people still use it

Exhaust tips rarely relate very much to the actual exhaust piping behind them. You could have half the tips but still flow "better"; it's about the whole flow-line from the exhaust valve to the atmosphere.

As for the sound, try some of the other exhausts until you find one you like the sound of. Or at least the best compromise between sound and looks, if that matters to you.
 
I really think they should have 5 or so different exhaust tips for us to choose per car... And on the sound note, I love it how on the newest RX-7 Spirit R you can make the engine sound change from sounding like a 2 rotor engine with stock or sports exhausts to sounding like a 3 rotor by fitting a racing exhaust lol
 
there should be any option to remove the exhaust pipe and just keep the headers
for super flow and amazing sound

Then after about half an hour your screen will go black and you'll crash because your driver has Carbon Monoxide poisoning!

Well it would add to the realism I suppose.

It also like the gallardo, the titanium exhaust looks rubbish and sounds it, but the sports exhaust looks awesome and the sound :drool:
 
each car is different. It just depends on what the design team wants it to look like, but the actual look of it doesnt matter. Click my sig and check the size of the exhaust tip on my R32. The thing is like a canon.
 
The size of the exhaust pipes does matter, but bigger is not allways better.

I find that the racing exhaust, like in real life, is far too loud for me. I like to hear what's going on around me, and that isn't possible with the racing exhaust.

I usually try to find whichever exhaust sounds the best. Since you'll be in the car for a while, it's best to go with the one that helps you stay focused.

The headers and catalytic converter upgrades are what's important in most cars. Some older cars greatly benefit in response from a maxed out exhaust, but a lot of newer ones really don't need the full racing exhaust, and the extremely loud noise it makes.
 
The less restrictive (ie. less curves in the system) the better.

You need an exhaust system that can get rid of the gasses as quickly as possible. A lot of race style exhausts would usually be as straight as possible, as this is the most effective way to dispell the gasses :) Hence why the backbox usually sits in a different place than it would on the standard road going version of the same car :)

I tought it was the custom gear box, anyway that (ugly) noise its like a freaking VIRUS all my tuned cars have it now :nervous:
I guess I'll start detuning a couple of them. I really hate that.
 
Yeah don;t be fooled by the large tips on the R8...........The tips are just removed on the race car....the tips are for aesthetics...nothing to do with performance...
 
I wish you had the option to pick between a couple different exhuasts for each category. Where you sport/semi-racing get you some horsepower and enhance the tone of the natural engine sound - racing would obviously have to be a little obnoixious - as a full racing exhuast would basically be straight pipes - but you should still have a choice over the tone from the muffler.

That way I could get the sweet boxer rumble right for my STi.

I didn't believe you...until I tried it last night. WTF PD? :scared::nervous:

Sidenote: The Spirit R sounds extremely good with the 'sports' exhaust. In fact it sounds almost identical to my full-exhaust RX-7.

It' a bit more complicated that that...

Or look into two-stroke motorbike engines and 'resonance'

And it's more about creating the right amount of pressure in the system to allow the engine to run as effectively as possible rather than getting the gases out as quickly as possible. I always find it amusing when chavs put cheap and nasty 'straight through' exhausts on their car and have, almost certainly, lost power.
 
Well yeah, equal length manifolds, and 4-2-1 etc dependant on your engine configuration plays a huge part, but obviously the more equal length the better from what I have seen and heard

Good point, well made!

Although, on the part I highlighted, it's more complicated that than still, in that it's the right amount of pressure at the right time, or range of times (e.g. resonance, etc.), that's important to some engines, including four strokes and rotaries. For other engines, it's about having as little pressure as possible outright. Similarly, many racing cars run unequal-length exhaust manifolds deliberately, to broaden the torque curve (and sacrifice the peak slightly). It depends on what you want.

The thing to remember is that most roadcars are calibrated to run with all that gumpf on 'em, which is why you tend to lose power and torque if you just mindlessly change things without thinking about the intake, the cams and the engine map, and how it all fits together.


I also like the idea of being able to choose any sound "below" the current upgrade level. That is, if you've got a sports exhaust fitted, you can choose between sports and stock, but both at sports volume. If you've a racing, you get to choose from all the sounds, all at racing volume. 👍

That would be epic on muscle cars, they would sound like drag cars then!
