How F1 Sound Is Made

How F1 Sound is made. Formula One cars do sound very special (the V8's, V10's and V12's). But there is some 'trick' behind that screaming Formula 1 exhaust sound, that nobody seems to know about.
But thanks to the supporters of www.maisteers-exhaust-sound-resear.ch - You will find out about it too.

Hello mr maisteer. I was wondering, everyone always says how an 8 to 1 or 12 to 1 or whatever to 1 is the best way to sound good. But you have talked about how the collector creates a change in area and a sudden change in pressure and therefore a scavenging pressure wave back to the cylinder. If im not wrong this is pretty much how the step in the primary works. So would it be better to have a 12 to 6 to 3 to 1 or a 8 to 4 to 2 to 1 to create more pressure waves like the step? Would multiple steps make the tone more "harmonious" how does the size of the step affect the sound... These videos are great. I come hoping for answers and just end up with more questions ❤

@maisteer 21 күн бұрын

Best question ever. I think nobody really understood that concept until now. I think most still don't. Stepped headers are nothing new. I've read in Graham Bell's book "Four-stroke Performance Tuning" (page 288) about stepped headers almost 20 years ago - he described how big they should be and where to place them - for power. In Honda's "Technical Review 2009 - F1 Special" - they also mention the benefits of stepped headers: "At 17500 rpm, a gain of 4 - 8 kW was realized as compared to an exhaust without steps." They are not shy explaining the power benefits of stepped headers. But in no book or paper did I ever read : "Oh, by the way - stepped headers really change the sound." - engineers just don't care, and nobody else did seem to notice. Without understanding that - it's impossible to come up with a logical theory that could explain the sound of cars like the Zonda and the "all-into-1" headers at the same time. They seemingly have not much in common. On top of that, the "all-into-one" headers seemed to be a bit of a hit and a miss if they get to sound like that. It was also a bit of a stretch to come up with an explanation why F1 cars did sound the way they did. That the rpm is the "main reason" sounds logical at first, but when you hear that a V8 powered F1 car from before 1998 revving to 14,000rpm doesn't "scream" at all, while a later V8 powered F1 car at low rpm casually rolling by sounds way more savage - the rpm explanation becomes very questionable. "So would it be better to have a 12-to-6-to-3-to-1 or a 8-to-4-to-2-to-1 to create more pressure waves like the step?" - The next logical questions I have are: What happens when you combine these headers with the steps? How will more steps influence the sound? How big should the steps be? What role does the pipe length in between the steps/collectors play? (From my observation this seems to be critical - but not in the way I expected. It's more like: it works or not - without much nuance - like a on/off switch). But I can't answer them yet. That's what I need the support from "maisteers-exhaust-sound-resear.ch" for. So maybe next time I can...

They use stepped headers on motorcycles with V twin facing the road. One cylinder having a longer pipe than the other ,so to keep equal exhaust pulse travel time,the step up on cylinder pipe,so gases take longer to travel this bigger pipe,and both cylinders have equal duration exhaust pulses. Generally you step up piping on bends,so the gases gain pressure and reduce speed,so travel easier in bends.

F1 engines just like diesel engines are very efficient - they send very little energy out of the exhaust. I don't see how splitting up weak pressure wave into even weaker pressure waves can result in a greater sound than what we know already. The engines I'm curious to hear with stepped headers are the rotaries. They send A LOT of energy out of the exhaust. They might set a new standard.

I've got stepped headers on my engine and they sound great. It's a four cylinder and non-sequential collector so doesn't have that F1 spund but it definitely sounds special compared to a normal one. The steps also help extract exhaus gasses quicker and properly tuned length, means you get a greater scavenging effect at whatever RPM you tune them for.

I read somewhere why they were stepped but forgot why now. a few days back I attended the F1 exhibit in Toronto and both Haas (Ferrari) and Mercedes engines were featured. Of course they are turbo V6 engines so entirely different from days past. As they both had heat shielding on the primaries it was hard to tell on any detail construction.
