The modified exhaust system is an important part of the car modification, the reason for the modification is not only to attract the attention of passers-by, but also to let the engine absorb more and discharge smoothly, so as to achieve performance improvement. In the exhaust pipe modification, there are two mainstream materials on the market: titanium alloy and stainless steel. There are four main differences between these two materials as exhaust pipes:
1. Weight
Titanium alloy material is lighter than stainless steel material under the same volume. At the same time, the strength of titanium alloy is comparable to that of stainless steel, so most owners who pursue lightweight will choose titanium alloy exhaust pipes.
2, heat resistance and heat dissipation
The operating temperature of the exhaust pipe can be as high as 500 ° C or more, so the heat resistance of the material is required. In comparison, the heat resistance and heat dissipation of titanium alloy are better than that of stainless steel.
3. Sound quality
The wall of the titanium alloy exhaust pipe is thin, so when the exhaust high-speed gas wave passes through, there will be a brittle sound and slightly loose, while the sound of the stainless steel exhaust pipe is relatively low and thick.
4. Price
Titanium alloy exhaust pipes have higher requirements for welding and other processes, and the production cost is much higher than that of common stainless steel exhaust pipes, so the price is also higher.
In general, the titanium alloy exhaust pipe has excellent performance in all aspects, and the stainless steel exhaust pipe is more cost-effective. Everyone has their own needs and preferences.
