why are 2stroke pipes fat??

[tjsdaname]

I have always wondered, why are 2stroke pipes fat??

what would happen if you putt a 4stroke pipe on a 2stroke????

dont put a 4stroke pipe on a 2 stroke. on a 2 stroke the pipe helps tune the engine. different pipes for different applications on 2 stroke engines.

 

[mdebuck]

on a 2 stroke the intake pushes the exhaust out of the chamber causing some of the air/fuel mix into the pipe (expansion chamber "fat part") when the expansion pipe goes towards the silencer it becomes skinnier this causes a percussion causing the intake air/fuel mix becing pushed back into the chamber before the spark plug fires, if this doesn't make sense im sorry its the way i type, sometimes i can't type what i'm thinking, lol,

 

[tjsdaname]

yeah i was just wondering.... wasent planning on trying........lol

 

[mdebuck]

well hopefully my post gives you some what an idea of what goes on,

 

[tjsdaname]

yeah..... I wonder what would happen if you put a 2stroke pipe on a 4stroke?

might sound kinda funny, but it shouldn't hurt anything as long as the outlet wasn't too small restricting the exhaust.

 

[mdebuck]

there would have to be an expansion chamber of some type to allow the intake to be percussioned back into the chamber,or your exhaust would fill up with air/fuel mix other wise known as a ticking time bomb,

Nice post, I knew how they worked already, but it even cleared it up for me! It is a good simple explanation, very nice!

you no the new fmf powerbomb heders fer four strokes??? it has like a small expansion chamber...could you use that as a heder and a powercore 2 silencer???

i'm not grasping why on earth you'd want to use a fat 2-stroke header on a 4-stroke..

maybe make the 4 stroke look better?

thats kinda like putting spinner hubcaps on a car. doesn't really serve a purpose and only increases the value of the vehicle in the eyes of the owner.

HEY, there is nothing wrong with spinner hubcaps,.... on a 1988 Dodge Shadow perhaps, they would make that granny car look bitchin!

spinner hubcaps are wrong on so many levels. beauty is in the eye of the beer holder i guess.
