First & Foremost question which comes in all the Bull (Royal Enfield) Rider’s mind is “Which are the types of Exhaust Silencers (Mufflers) available in the market? And which is the best Exhaust Silencer for My Royal Enfield Model? Let it be Thunderbird, Classic, Standard or 350 CC / 500 CC.
Firstly let me make you understand “What Exhaust Silencer is?” And then we would classify all the after stock exhaust silencers in the board 3 categories along with pros and cons.
An Exhaust Silencer
An exhaust is a series of pipes that links the engine to a silencer and a catalytic converter leading the burnt gas from the combustion chamber of the engine to outside. Exhausts have four main functions: to control noise, to direct exhaust fumes away from passengers, to improve the performance of the engine and to improve fuel consumption.
Catalytic converter
It is a vessel in the exhaust system containing catalysts like platinum, palladium, and rhodium; platinum and palladium convert harmful exhaust gasses by further oxidation of carbon monoxide and unburned hydrocarbons into water and carbon dioxide, and rhodium breaks the nitrogen oxides into nitrogen and oxygen.
