For the average tuning enthusiast, car and motorcycle exhaust pipes are a kind of science that seems to be understood. It seems that I always hear everyone say that titanium alloy is lightweight, performance representative, stainless steel is practical, etc. In fact, the exhaust pipe has a more esoteric connotation.
For more titanium exhaust system, for a good look, for the best CP value, the exhaust pipes are made for different purposes, but the factors are completely different. Among them, the material is the most important. Let's take this opportunity to introduce the exhaust pipe material, so that everyone can choose according to their needs!
1. Steel
Steel is the material often used in the original exhaust pipe, the general iron metal. It has an advantage that is difficult to ignore in terms of price, coupled with the stable and durable material, it is the first choice for low price.
In the tuning market, there are relatively few exhaust pipes made of ordinary steel, but they can emit a very powerful deep sound, and in addition to the ease of processing, they are very popular with motorists with sound and appearance. However, steel also has a disadvantage that is hard to ignore, and that is its heavier weight. Riders who have tried to replace the exhaust pipe themselves will understand. The weight difference between steel and titanium alloys is quite surprising. In addition, iron is also a metal that is quite susceptible to rust. For this reason, most of the iron exhaust pipes are surface plated or heat-resistantly coated. The steel exhaust pipes are perfect for those who are more interested in style than performance. The advantage of steel is that it is low price, and the disadvantage is that it is heavy and easy to rust.
2. Stainless steel
Stainless steel, a fairly common material in everyday life. To further explain briefly, stainless steel is an alloy with chromium and other metals added to general iron, and its corrosion resistance is better than that of pure iron. Generally speaking, the biggest advantage of stainless steel is that it is not easy to rust. But in addition to this, stainless steel actually has quite good material strength. As a result, it can be made in a thinner process than ordinary steel, thereby reducing the weight of the exhaust pipe. In addition, stainless steel also has the advantages of beautiful luster, cheaper than titanium alloy and other materials, and the CP value is also quite good. Most of the front exhaust pipes in the modified market are made of stainless steel, which shows its strong versatility, and many manufacturers have launched stainless steel tail exhaust pipes. The exhaust sound of stainless steel exhaust pipes usually has a more high-pitched but weighty sound quality. The stainless steel exhaust pipe is quite suitable and recommended for people who want to modify and highlight the style, but are worried that the purse cannot bear expensive materials such as titanium alloy. The advantages of stainless steel are that it is not easy to rust, has higher strength than general steel, light weight, high CP value, and bright and excellent luster. The disadvantage is that it looks better than titanium.
3. Titanium
Titanium exhaust pipes are a popular figure in the tuning market, and most tuning enthusiasts are fascinated by their lightness and bright burnt look. Depending on the product, the weight of the titanium alloy exhaust pipe is usually only about 40~70% of the original exhaust pipe, and the sports performance improvement brought by lightweight can be clearly felt both when braking and cornering. And it is lightweight while maintaining the best material strength. However, high strength also means that processing is not easy. It is precisely for this reason that the price of titanium alloy exhaust pipes is also the most prominent. Among the flagship products of major exhaust pipe manufacturers, there are exhaust pipes made of titanium alloy in all sections. The sound of the titanium exhaust pipes is usually crisp and high-pitched. The titanium exhaust pipe is quite suitable for those who want to modify the highest level regardless of the cost. It has the advantage of being the lightest of all metals, and it has high strength and beautiful burn color, and it almost does not rust, but it is expensive.
