This 100% correct that a full exhaust system will work better than open headers. I did this same experiment at the race track by putting a capable cutouts on my headers. When I took the caps off the headers the car slowed down 2/10 of a second in the 1/8. Put the caps back on and the car picked up and ran where it had previously. Glad to see the myth of 1 7/8 headers busted, I had long wondered about that. Thanks Richard.

Belt driven power adders and nitrous benefit from headers and crossovers and stuff because they have normal exhaust pulses that still scavenge normally. Turbos, not so much. Having a free flowing system that helps organize exhaust pulses going into the turbo is somewhat beneficial, but too much volume/pipe length pre turbo hurts performance, and anything after the turbo is just an obstruction.

If your running a 3000-5000 stall converter the reason for it is so your engine when at full throttle doesn't spend much time from idle to where the stall converter starts to catch so more torque below that say idle to 3000 would benefit street cruising but not so much full throttle now a heavy truck or SUV with a stock stall converter would benefit greatly with more torque from idle to 3000rpm

G'day Richard. Thanks for another great video, but your results are not a great surprise to me. I learned a long time ago that dips in an engine's torque curve are a result of a bad exhaust for the RPM range of the dip. This issue is more common with 2-stroke motorcycles than 4-stroke cars & bikes, and much more common on with aftermarket products than with factory products. Whilst the original exhaust system on a motorcycle prevents the engine from making its peak power, compared to an aftermarket system, the original system gives a smoother torque curve. Obviously the manufacturer has the opportunity & ability to test & refine an exhaust system, & they use that to create a well rounded system - from airbox to exhaust tip. However, I do have a few questions for you. Have you considered trying a step design, say from 1 1/2"-1 3/4"-1 7/8"? Also, have you ever tried a cross-over design, where the outer 2 cylinders of 1 bank are collected with the inner 2 cylinders from the opposite bank? Finally, are the 1 7/8" extractors built with more anti-reversion than the 1 3/4" extractors? Once again, thanks for a great video - I enjoy watching shows that encourage thought. Andrew
@rustysausage69

Motorcycles quite simply cannot be compared to cars in regards to exhaust, because a factory exhaust on a motorcycle IS a header. There aren't the packaging constraints like there are under a car, and motorcycles aren't treated as much of appliances to the manufacturers as passenger cars are to their respectful manufacturers so performance is first and foremost on the agenda.

Really interesting... but on a smaller engine with a mild cam, im not terribly surprised that smaller headers did well. The fact that the full exhaust helped it was cool. Sure, it was down 3 hp or whatever on top, but that wouldn't change 1/4 performance. The added weight of a full exhaust system with mufflers out the back might. Switching to tubular headers and full Magnaflow exhaust on my 2012 Boss Mustang, weight dropped almost 50 pounds. On a street driven truck (as we would expect given a smaller engine with a smaller cam and a truck intake), a full exhaust system is required. Still fun to discuss

What I meant to say was.. after you do your test on your headers Etc and get your HP numbers if you add a set of high-flow cats won't the numbers change from a restriction another words adding the high-flow cats to the test you just did ..wont it bring the numbers down.. I always thought more restriction on the exhaust less flow which meant less flow less air into engine less air out

Could you do a 8 to 1 header to prove if they add torque? Then add a supercharger. Curious of actual torque gains.

Back in the day I had a 70 as big block nova. I built a 427 ,about 600 crank. I had hooker super competition 2 18th headers on it. I hit an obstinate in the road and smashed the right header. I put hooker competition 1 78th headers on it and lost noticable power. I think the tube size needed correlates with the amount of ex the engine is making.

That depends entirely on your application, if you have a race car that launches at 4k and shifts at 7000 you don't really care about anything under 4k. I know lots of folks harp on and on about low end and area under the curve on hot street applications but personally I think once you have enough there to facilitate normal driving anything more is just for making smoke and showing off.
