Superbike Exhaust Dreamers
Superbike Exhaust Dreamers
(OP)
Here's the deal: One of my good friends and I are going to attempt and start our own custom superbike exhaust line (you know, like Yoshimura, Arata, Muzzy, etc). We are both currently full time Mechanical Engineers and race amateur just for fun. World Superbike/Moto GP is our passion. I have about 1 year's worth of snowmobile exhaust design work under my belt, but other than that, our careers are non-related. Can anyone give us some help on attaining design software? Perhaps some professional advice? Anything at this point would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

The right way to do this is to use engine simulation software. You can download a free demo (limited to a single cylinder engine) http://www.lesoft.co.uk/index1.html - click on "Downloads" then "Freeware". I had problems with the user interface of that one, but got it to work. There are a number of others out there.
I suspect most exhaust system manufacturers are still doing the old cut-and-try method. No aftermarket exhaust system for my little FZR had pipe diameters *small* enough ...

GT-Power from Gamma Technologies
Wave from Ricardo
Boost from AVL
Virtual Engines from Optimum-Power Technology
Each of these softwares has their own pros and cons and people who will argue for one over the others, but I know directly of exhaust companies using each of them.

The codes are much less prevalent in the aftermarket and low volume world though, where the goals are different (sound level and quality is not an issue).

As the pros on this sight will tell you every thing changes with cam, valve, stroke, bore size and rod ratio...So what ever you come up with for a commercial pipe will be a compromise for these variables..
Cheers
I don't know anything but the people that do.
