About ATV Exhaust...
It is an essential engine component. It is required to transport the engine's exhaust smoke and gas from the exhaust port on the cylinder into the muffler. The exhaust system also consists of the muffler.
The muffler performs like its name says. It is responsible for muffling the noise created by the combustion in the eengine before exiting at the rear of the ATV. Every ATV has an exhaust system, every ATV needs one, but just how much does your quad's exhaust effect the overall operation of the engine?
The quad exhaust system is simple. The two two main components are the exhaust pipe, also called the expansion chamber, and the muffler, sometimes referred to as the silencer. Keeping both of these units maintained properly will keep your quad's engine running at peak performance.
The OEM exhaust system desgined for your ATV engine, is specifically designed to optimize proper combustion. There are aftermarket pipes and silencers available that tend to alter the original design of the engine to improve performance. The manufacturers claims of increased horsepower are usually well documented and even outright noticeable to the rider.
