Under seat exhaust

[BockinBboy]

the underseat exhaust in racing is set at a pacific angle

As opposed to an Atlantic angle?

Interesting, I read this through the first time and read the word 'specific' lol

I always figured it was to improve ground clearance for when you're leaned way, way over. As for the GS, I just think it could look pretty cool if done right.

Clearance can sometimes be an issue for side-mount exhausts, but hasn't been a problem on modern race bikes since long before the introduction of the under-tail exhaust.

the underseat exhaust in racing is set at a pacific angle and aids performance .It is not there for centre of gravity effect .I think it was ducati or one of the other major teams had it set wrong and were handicapped in performance before they discovered there problem ,it is for the streamling effect .The benifit must be worth it to have the extra bends in the exhaust.

The point of lowest pressure on a motorcycle is not directly behind the tail.

Seriously... Honda dropped the under-tail exhaust on the CBR1000RR, and went to under-belly. Ducati did the same on their premier sport-bike.

It's been a style thing the whole time. Extra weight, worse mass centralization, cooked ass, and no storage space. There isn't any benefit to the under-tail exhaust, despite what the manufacturers literature says.
