People with a little common sense about cars know that the exhaust of cars is different in style, location and even quantity. So what are the reasons for the different positions of the exhaust pipes of these cars?
In fact, the design of automobile exhaust pipe should follow many factors, such as the position of automobile fuel tank, driving position, the position of engine cover and even the beauty of automobile. Generally, for countries with the steering wheel on the right, the car fuel tank is also on the right. In this way, the car exhaust pipe is set on the left. This can not only maintain the overall balance of the body, but also guard against the harm to pedestrians caused by vehicle exhaust. On the contrary, the same is true for countries with the steering wheel on the left. Therefore, there will be some exhaust pipes on the right and some on the left. Therefore, there are exhaust pipes on the left and on the right when we walk on the street.
In addition to the location of the fuel tank, the displacement of the vehicle will also affect the design of the exhaust pipe. Generally speaking, the displacement of small urban scooters is relatively low, so such vehicles are generally equipped with only one exhaust pipe, and the pipe diameter is relatively conventional. For those vehicles that often need to go off-road in extreme environments, the situation is different. The most typical example is Mercedes Benz's big G. On the Internet, some people often say that when they get off the bus, they often have to beware of scalding their ankles by the exhaust pipe, which is a hint that others' car is big G. Because Mercedes Benz big G is most praised for its excellent off-road performance. If the exhaust is placed at the rear of the car, the exhaust system must penetrate from the bottom of the car, which will damage the structure of the rear suspension of the car body. Therefore, in order to ensure off-road performance, the exhaust pipes of big G are set on both sides of the vehicle body.
In addition to the different positions of exhaust pipes, you may also find that the number of exhaust pipes varies greatly in many vehicles, including one, two, or even four. Of course, excluding some cars with really large displacement that need four exhaust pipes, most of them are gimmicks created by vehicle manufacturers. In order to cater to people's aesthetics, some car manufacturers specially make more exhaust pipes at the rear of the car, so that the rear of the car will look very sporty and visually shocking. In fact, it doesn't use that much at all. It's just to cater to the psychology of consumers.
Therefore, the number, size and location of each automobile exhaust pipe follow the body structure. Whether it is one or two, it has its design reason. Many people may think that cars with a large number of exhaust pipes are handsome and sporty, so they will choose to install exhaust pipes on their cars. In fact, if small displacement cars are equipped with more exhaust pipes, it will be counterproductive, which will affect the driving performance of the car.
Therefore, whether the exhaust pipe is on the left or right, it is OK as long as it meets the body performance and emission requirements. Therefore, those exhaust pipes installed to meet the modification needs are not necessarily a good choice.
