What Makes a Good Motorcycle Exhaust System?

What Makes a Good Motorcycle Exhaust System?

There are so many motorcycle exhaust manufacturers so determining which one is the best for your bike is very hard. This is especially so for new riders who may not have experience in this sector. For those new in this, there are four main factors that will make a certain exhaust system better than the others.

High Performance

Performance is the first thing that motorcycle owners look for when buying new accessories and the exhaust system is not an exception. High performance exhausts are all what motorcycle enthusiasts look for when shopping for an exhausts system. The exhaust should perform highly in terms of fuel consumption, speed among other features.

When choosing touring motorcycle exhausts keep in mind that some of them may lead to excessive fuel consumption while other may reduce its functionality causing poor performance. This is not the case for all exhausts as there are others from certain manufacturers that perform better as you expect them to. High performance exhausts are perfect for those who want the race-like experience on their street bikes.

Improved Air Flow

A good exhaust system needs to allow the smooth flow of gases. The smooth flow of the gases is mostly determined by the size of the pipe. A very small pipe limits the movement of gases building pressure leading to reduced performance. These are not the best exhausts for those who want top-level performance from their bikes.

On the other hand, very wide pipes allow the flow of gases at very high rates. This may be good for some riders and bad for some depending on their preferences. When the flow of air is too much, the performance of the bike can be affected so do not go for exhaust systems with very big pipes.

Easy To Maintain

The best exhaust systems are those that are easy and cheap to maintain. Those that require a mechanic every time there is an issue are not the best for inexperienced riders. How popular a particular exhausts system is determines how much it will cost you to repair it. The not so popular exhausts are the most expensive ones to repair while the popular ones are affordable.

Custom Made Exhausts

There are different motorcycles available in the market and they all have different styles and designs. This means that the exhaust systems available in the market vary from one motorcycle to another. The best exhausts are those custom made for your specific motorcycle. Custom-made exhausts are easy to install and fit without any drilling or modification.
