  2. Exhaust system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhaust_system

    This generally includes the pipe from the converter to the muffler, the muffler, and the final length of the pipe to open air. Cat-back exhaust systems generally use pipes of larger diameters than the stock system. To reduce backpressure, the mufflers included in these kits are often glasspacks.

  3. Assured clear distance ahead - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assured_Clear_Distance_Ahead

    The ACDA may also be dynamic as to the moving distance past which a motorist can be assured to be able to stay clear of a foreseeable dynamic hazard—such as to maintain a distance as to be able to safely swerve around a bicyclist should he succumb to a fall—without requiring a full stop beforehand, if doing so could be exercised with due ...

  4. Muffler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muffler

    On May 18, 1905, the state of Oregon passed a law that required vehicles to have "a light, a muffler, and efficient brakes". [10]The legality of altering a motor vehicle's original equipment exhaust system varies by jurisdiction; in many developed countries such as the United States, [11] Canada, [12] and Australia, [13] such modifications are highly regulated or strictly prohibited.

  5. Back pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back_pressure

    Two similar pipings with same pressure distance and head. The second pipe contains some obstructions for flow resulting in less discharge. A common example of backpressure is that caused by the exhaust system (consisting of the exhaust manifold, catalytic converter, muffler and connecting pipes) of an automotive four-stroke engine, which has a negative effect on engine efficiency, resulting in ...

  8. Traffic law in the United States - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_law_in_the_United...

    For driving in the United States, each state and territory has its own traffic code or rules of the road, although most of the rules of the road are similar for the purpose of uniformity, given that all states grant reciprocal driving privileges (and penalties) to each other's licensed drivers. There is also a "Uniform Vehicle Code" which was ...

  9. Glasspack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glasspack

    This lower flow but slightly quieter design approach is commonly used in glasspack mufflers. Some modern muffler designs are similar in principle to the glasspack, but use more sophisticated sound-absorbing materials such as stainless steel mesh, and more advanced acoustic engineering, reducing noise while retaining the power-preserving ...
