Exhaust Velocity Calculator — Calculate Engine Exhaust Flow

Exhaust Velocity Calculator

Calculate exhaust velocity based on engine parameters like displacement, RPM, exhaust temperature, and pipe diameter. Optimize your exhaust system for better performance.

Step 1: Engine Parameters

5000 RPM
600°C

Understanding Exhaust Velocity

Exhaust velocity affects engine scavenging and performance. Higher velocities improve scavenging but can create backpressure if too high. Optimal exhaust velocity is typically between 200-400 ft/s for street applications.

Step 2: Exhaust System

About Exhaust Velocity

Proper exhaust velocity helps with scavenging, where exhaust pulses help pull fresh air/fuel mixture into the cylinder. Too low velocity reduces scavenging efficiency, while too high velocity creates excessive backpressure that can hurt performance.

Exhaust Velocity Formula

Velocity = (Engine Displacement × RPM × Exhaust Temp Factor) / (Pipe Area)

Exhaust velocity is calculated based on the volume of exhaust gases produced by the engine and the cross-sectional area of the exhaust pipe. Higher temperatures increase gas volume, while larger pipes reduce velocity for the same flow rate.
