This $1000 V8 Touareg gets the Zac Chop treatment and now sounds nuts! 621 Golden Ep.003

Zac really seems to hate his back. Between the infamous DT Miata jump, partaking in the Gambler 500, and mobbing a hardtail bike on the mean highways of California - dude has taken some real damage to the vertebrae. So you KNOW that with King of the Hammers around the corner, he can't help but join in on Hammertown. But a real race truck is pricey... and police auction cars are not. So, Zac's answer? Competing in Hooptie-X in this $1000 Volkswagen Touareg. And being an auction car, this thing is worked. First step: remove that exhaust. Voila, straight piped Touareg!

[@shannonnevitt5782]

Put a sideways barrel duel exit exhaust it will give you the sound And all the back pressure

[@drewalsup9200]

back pressure is not something you want its really a myth they only used to say you wanted a tiny bit because it has to do with exhaust velocity and scavenging there is a happy spot somewhere between tiny bit of restriction and too big that yields best performance but generally back pressure is bad

[@2moke2creen]

@@drewalsup9200 I agree, but punctuations dude. They exist for a reason.

[@tommihommi1]

@@drewalsup9200 part of the back pressure legend nowadays comes from the ECU turning it down because the exhaust flows too well, so you have to retune it

[@OllamhDrab]

@@drewalsup9200 I would think all the scavenging is done by the time it gets to the cats, but maybe some straight pipe from there would be cool/help the sensors make sense of things.

Zac is unrecogniseable without the signature moustache

[@doogiediggler5274]

@8:15 No engine needs back pressure they need enuff exhaust to provide parasitic vacuum to help pull exhaust out of the combustion chamber and help mix air fuel on the way in.

[@kodyjohnson6294]

Two strokes needs back pressure

[@brandonovenephet4521]

Exhaust Scavenging is the term lol

[@apodski]

Two strokes only need back pressure for an expansion chamber to work properly, but the stringer after the expansion chamber pretty much does all that. The mufflers are mostly just to keep it from being horrendously loud.

[@jonesingjalopies5457]

So a straight pipe to the back would help?
