Acceleration will also depend on the vehicles power to weight ratio (the new exhaust would drop the vehicles weight), friction (quality of your tires), and many more factors. It's not just simple physics. Using a theoretical formula looks good on paper or a test. As long as they remain in the elastic region of the chart it will be linear, so if proper tuning kept the whatever is being elongated in that region it will be fine. Nice research though. But an increase is an increase as you admitted, whether it's worth the $500-$600 was not part of the discussion and it goes back to what I said earlier on who it matters to.

Comparing apples & apples. If you add more power, and add say, towing a trailer and your new acceleration is the same as before, you are STILL adding additional stress & strain to your engine.

To each their own. If the engine is tuned right, the overall life will not be effected.

That might be true, if stress vs. strain on metallic parts were linear. But it is not.

I'm not gonna get into an argument. I went to engineering school for this stuff and was a certified mechanic for a dealership for a few years and worked on many of the performance vehicles the dealership sold. The extra wear with a performance exhaust comes from it not being installed and/or tuned properly and the driver driving the vehicle harder (i.e. they want to hear their exhaust so they rev it all the time, stay at higher rpms purposely, etc.)

Obviously engines can handle only so much stress. So throwing something like a turbo or supercharger on the engine changes things if the engine wasn't designed for it. A small increase in power output from an exhaust is not going to change the long term health of the engine, once again as long as it's installed correctly and maintained properly.

You Sir are actually an engineer. HAHA

So truck drivers can launch rocket's, I knew it.

Two Brothers reached out to us on Friday. We will be doing a video comparing the sounds on both our Ryker 600 & 900 in both stock form and with the two bros installed for those of you that may be interested. Stay tuned....

Audio captured/recorded sounds quite a bit different that hearing it live.
