Scientific Design of Exhaust and Intake Systems

by Philip H. Smith and John C. Morrison

One of the best-selling technical books in its field!

For years, engineers, engine designers, high-performance tuners, and rac- ers have depended on the information in this book to develop the maximum potential from their engines.

Dr. John C. Morrison is one of the foremost authorities on the analysis of the induction and exhaust dynamics of high-speed engines. Together with Philip Smith, he gives a thorough explanation of the physics that govern the behavior of gases as they pass through an engine, and the theories and practi- cal research methods used in designing more efficient induction manifolds and exhaust systems, for both competition and street use.

Chapter topics range from Simple Flow Problems and Sound and its Energy to Designing a System for Racing. This authoritative book will lead you through the complex theory to an understanding of how to design high- performance exhaust and intake systems for your own particular application.
