Exhaust Types

It is very hard to find the correct terms for many things.. google doesnt help especially if you dont know what you are looking for. after looking around, i thought i might help abit in this area for exhausts.

note that although the sounds are about the same, they really are not in real life, this is because the camera mics cant pick up what we can hear

hi pipes


hell bends


belled megaphone


shotgun


fishtail
