    Obviously, my state does not enforce any noise laws they have enacted. Mufflers are made today to make noise not reduce it. Numerous 4 cylinder asian cars go by my home daily making as much noise as nascar vehicles which have no mufflers. Nomally those vehicles would be almost silent but now sound like a F16. Same with pickup trucks which sound like racing vehicles both on the freeway and in my quiet neighborhood. Seems our legislators need to revisit the noise pollution situation.

    The frequency spectrum cancellation is concept that works perfectly inside a DAW or a mixing console, but in a real environnement it doesn't do anything. It's really just the materials inside that are good sound absorbers and also the fact you don't have a direct straight pipe.

  • @soilmanted
    @soilmanted 4 года назад +1

    scotty is mistaken about how a continuously variable transmission works. He says, "if you adjust the gap between the pulleys, this changes the diameter." The truth is that the diameter of BOTH pulleys needs to be changed. Two DIAMETERS (plural) are changed. The diameter of EACH pulley is changed. As the diameter of the input pulley gets larger, the diameter of the output pulley gets smaller. If the output pulley gets smaller by the same amount as the input pulley gets larger, the size of the belt can remain the same. The diameter of EACH of the 2 pulleys is not changed by adjusting the the gap between the pulleys, it is changed, in each pulley, by adjusting the distance between the 2 SIDES of the pulley. Pull the 2 sides apart, and the diameter gets smaller. Why? Because the inside surface of the pulley, where the belt rides, is V-shaped. Pull the 2 sides apart, and the belt rides lower down in the pulley, effectively reducing its diameter. Oh yea, the speed of the belt has NOTHING to do with the the arrangement of the pulleys in the CVT, or with anything that the CVT is doing. The speed of the belt is entirely dependent upon the speed of the engine that is turning the input pulley. As the pulley diameters change, the speed of the output pulley changes, relative to the speed of the input pulley. If the diameter of the input pulley is made larger, then the output pulley has to get smaller, and for every rotation of the input pulley, the output pulley turns more times, turns faster. But the belt keeps moving along at the same speed.

    I thought I was fairly well 'educated' in Cars, but, even though I've Repaired and Replaced a fair few (Irish for many !

    I had an old 1985 Chevy C20 pickup truck, (Propane so no catalytic converter) the pipe fell off from the "Y" on the exhaust system to the muffler. So I was running around with no muffler. At the time I didn't have the money to fix it so I was going to wait a few months to get a new exhaust system.... When I got the money a month or two later I just put off getting a new muffler anyway because I was getting away with it.... When ever people complained that "I needed a new muffler!", I would reply "it has a muffler, it just doesn't have a pipe going to the muffler!"... I got away with driving a 8V Chevy pickup truck for three years no tickets, before I finally put a $1,000 exhaust system into a $1,500 truck.

    I like your new style of the way you speak in the video, less scream and it's sounds cool like this way.

    One time I bolted some long tube headers on a SBC and ran them with short straight pipes and glass pack mufflers. The Chevrolet was a '66 so it never had a cat other than the cats that left paw prints all over it. Those were the days when I could improvise an exhaust system in an afternoon on the cheap.

    After watching this I put back my muffler because of noise pollution and air. Then I took it out because noise is better in cars because Scotty will make another vid saying why should we have mufflers.

    It's always interesting to hear who owns who. We had Reeves drives on our punch presses to control the speed of the press. Now with the electronic inverters you don't see them around. Reeves, Reliance and now Baldor. Just like Hoover vacuum, then Chicago Pacific bought Hoover, then Maytag bought Hoover, then Whirlpool bought Maytag and Hoover, and now TTI owns Hoovers and Whirlpool owns Maytag.

    The converter by itself reduces quite a bit of noise. Almost don't even need a muffler especially with a single exhaust.

    Hey scotty speaking of loud cars, can you do a video on the harm you can cause your engine by tuning a car to backfire? Or fuel maps that dump fuel into engines as they decrease speed? Sometimes I feel like I'm getting shot at by one of these Focus St's😂

    I like fiberglass packed turbo mufflers for performance. Quiet at idle and low RPM nice growl when you put your foot in it.
    Non fiberglass packed turbos mufflers drone too much at low RPM.

    Hey Scotty, as we know, you don’t like turbochargers, but would you buy a supercharged vehicle used?

    • @reaperactualgaming3075
      @reaperactualgaming3075 4 года назад

      Theres nothing wrong with stock turbo or supercharged cars. They are overenginerred by the manufacturer and are designed to be reliable with the parts installed.

      Superchargers are even harder on engines than turbos, so not for reliability haha

      @sategllib2191 4 года назад

      @@reaperactualgaming3075 Still, more pressure and more heat, more possibilities of things to go wrong. I have a factory turbo car, and no doubt if I wanted the best reliability I wouldn't of bought one with a turbo.
