Custom exhaust systems are based on the concept of "engine scavenging," which works like this: as spent gases are expelled through properly sized pipes they leave a vacuum. This vacuum sucks exhaust from the cylinder, repeating itself endlessly, creating power as a result.
Did you know that the trend of car customization dates back to the pre-World War era? In the early years of the automobile, the rich and famous would seek to make a style statement with their custom cars.
The Sting Ray concept and race car played many roles. After its 1960 SCCA National Championship win, the designer Bill Mitchell adapted it for road use and allowed it to be featured in the hit 1967 film Clambake, starring Elvis Presley.
Did you know that the world's first plastic-bodied car was made using ultrasonic welding? Of course, plastic-bodied cars never became a thing, but ultrasonic welding did! Ultrasonic welding works by creating friction through high frequency, creating heat and also a lasting bond.
Custom exhaust systems provide a faster escape route for your spent gases, and this results in greater fuel economy and a smoother ride. In fact, the entire concept is simple: spent gasoline exhaust is, because of custom pipes and muffler, made to be expelled in a more steamlined and efficient manner.
Do you know who was the first country to attempt welding in space? If you guessed Russia, you’d be right! In 1969, the cosmonauts first attempted to weld in space. Since then, the advances in welding have made it possible for projects like the ISS, the International Space Station.
