Which makes you FASTER - Air Intake or Exhaust?
In this video, I attempt to answer the question, "If you could just purchase one, which is better, the air intake, or an exhaust?" with a series of speed runs and analyzation of the results. To purchase one the test subjects click here:
Chimera Air intake (2014-2020 grom): amzn.to/2V437xh
Zoom non-looped exhaust (2014-2020 grom): amzn.to/3rwZ4po
Also pictured, the Yoshimura Exhaust I run on my grom: amzn.to/2V7dRLj
Note: this fits 2017-2020 grom, for fitment to 2014-2015, you'll need this extra part: tstindustries.com/tst-low-mount-exhaust-bracket-honda-grom-2013-2016.html

  • @gerblake9359
    @gerblake9359 2 місяці тому

    Hang on! The power on an open exhaust comes on at higher revs, whereas the open air intake gives more torque at lower revs. So you should have changed gears at higher revs with the open exhaust, in order to get the best performance! That’s my experience, see also Yoshimura power graph.

I have gotten warnings from the police , my government and neighbours , and i have been politely asked to move out by my landlords twice . It is a problem So imagine my surprise when a month ago i got hit by a car in a quiet town at 6 AM . No other noise present , just me roaring like a goddamn thunderstorm WITH Thunderstruck by AC/DC blasting out my speakers at full blast . Loud pipes do not in fast save lives , THey are just obnoxious . BTW my bike came like that and new chrome pipes are expensive so i just rolled with it . So dont be that guy

    Worth it? no. Just get a bigger engine. On my 150 carbureted Grom clone, modding my bike costs $40 for air pod, intake tube, carburetor; $9 jet kit, $110 pipe, $39 slip on = $190 on mods, which takes it from 60 to 70 just like on the grom. If I wanted to go faster, I'd install a ZS190 for $800, and you'll be going MUCH faster than any mods you do on the grom.

The power over stock is quite a lot. Me: I am 80 and bought the Monkey in June of 2023 after ridding for 64 years. I had thought about quitting, but hey I can still find my way back home so the Monkey was my choice, such an easy light bike to ride. Like they say" live to ride, ride to live" Thanks for the video.
