DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS FOR MOTORCYCLE EXHAUST SYSTEMS

In addition to adequate sound and performance levels, practical exhaust systems are characterized by a large number of design considerations. These include size, weight, position, cost, durability, styling, and tonal quality. This paper discusses the severe constraints that motorcycles place on these parameters because of their relatively small size and high-performance levels.
