Design and Fabrication of Intake and Exhaust Manifold of a Prototype Race Car

Abstract

Increasing interests in automobile of this generation has increased motor sports. Resulting in increased number of racing events held year long. In this paper an approach for designing, analyzing and manufacturing of air intake and exhaust system is discussed for prototype model of a Formula style car with the locally available resources in hand as per the rules specified by the two major student level events organized in India. It also gives a brief introduction to the flow simulation of the designed models in Solid-works for various rpm for tuning the engine and practical noise testing of newly designed exhaust system for the prototype car powered by 600 cc engine of Yamaha R6 YZF. These competitive events require a restrictor on the passage of air to the engine and also require noise emissions below 110dB with the exhaust system
