Re: Interesting reading - Pipes
do circuit-type exhausts work in a markedly different way then the standard, cigar-type pipes he's talking about? how about twin exhausts?
Re: Interesting reading - Pipes
The sound wave does not care so much about corners as that it's travelling in a cone. Different exhaust routing results mostly from necessity of fitting the properly dimensioned exhaust on the bike, all the pipes are like the 'cigar', just bent into a shape, plus a silencer now days.
If you are interested the exhaust chapter in Gordon Jennings two-stroke tuner's handbook is really good and talks about all that.

Re: Interesting reading - Pipes
It would be an awesome, but difficult task, to graph out each pipe for all brands of mopeds depending on frequency. Then you could get really into matching up parts.
Re: Interesting reading - Pipes
frequency, you mean like a power/rpm graph? this actually has me thinking, i wonder if you could build a 'pipe dyno' to simulate having an engine attached... possibly with some sort of subwoofer speaker or something. hmm.
