PERFORMANCE EXHAUST SYSTEMS: HOW TO DESIGN, FABRICATE & INSTALL - SA277

R-Boys treat again! To extract maximum performance, an engine needs an efficient, well-designed, and properly tuned exhaust system. Engine builders and car owners need to carefully consider the exhaust layout, select the parts, and fabricate the exhaust system that delivers the best performance for car and particular application. 

The book explains exhaust system principles, function, and components in clear and concise language. He then details how to design, fabricate, and fit exhaust systems to classic street cars as well as for special and racing applications:

• Air/exhaust-gas flow dynamics and exhaust system design
• Cam duration and overlap are also analyzed to determine how an engine breathes in air/fuel
• Pipe bending is a science as well as art and you’re shown how to effectively crush and mandrel bend exhaust pipe to fit your header/manifold and chassis combination.
• Header tube diameter and length is taken into account, as well as the most efficient catalytic converters and resonators for achieving your performance goals.
• In addition, the book covers the special exhaust system requirements for supercharged and turbocharged systems.
