Motorcycle mufflers are the pipes that primarily deal with the loud noise of a motorcycle. Though muffling is their prime function, yet nowadays, there are Custom Motorcycle Mufflers available in the market that can raise the noise of the vehicle. However, keeping in mind the restrictions in the form of laws formed by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the motorcyclists have to restrict themselves to a certain limit in terms of noise that their vehicles produce. Though there is always some space for modifications for each and every motorcycle accessory including mufflers, yet the basic functions remain the same.
To understand the loud or quiet sound of the motorcycle, we need to understand how motorcycle exhaust systems work. In simple words, exhaust system consists of parts of engine and emit the hot gases from the motorcycle. Motorcycle engine sends the hot gases to one, two or four tubes depending on how many a motorcycle has and through these tubes are sent to catalytic converter. Catalyst is a chemical substance that speeds up the chemical reaction. The hot gases produced from these chemical reactions are then thrown out of the vehicle through motorcycle mufflers. The pressure is so much that these gases can produce very loud noise. To restrict this noise to an accepted level, there is a part in the muffler called resonating chamber that limits the noise.
In nowadays market, almost all motorcycle accessories are available in customized form as per different choices of the people. Despite these quite mufflers, there are loud noise producing Custom Motorcycle Mufflers that don’t have a resonating chamber in them and hence they produce very loud noise.
Hope this blog is useful for those who wish to understand and choosing their right performance Mufflers
