Why is the fake exhaust that is exposed in winter more and more favored by car companies?

car modification is an art, but the style of auto parts city is obviously not included, and people will only think that it is a boy with a ghost fire who bought a car ... To be a representative of the style of auto parts city, a fake exhaust pipe must be counted. After some family cars are modified, there are four or five fake exhaust pipes on their buttocks, which is more than super-running, which is very exaggerated. However, in winter, it is embarrassing, and none of the fake exhaust pipes are steaming, and in an instant.

Many people don't like fake exhaust, but now they have no choice. More and more car companies begin to urbanize auto parts, and install decorative fake exhaust ports on the bottoms of cars, while the real exhaust ports are hidden under the cars, which are also exposed in winter. As long as you look closer, you can find that the decorative exhaust ports are sealed, which seriously reduces the sense of class.

The trend of using fake exhaust is really different. You can see hundreds of thousands of cars are "faking" and hundreds of thousands of luxury cars are "faking". Moreover, everyone's whole life is getting higher and higher, and cars dare to have a fake exhaust. Ten years ago, ordinary family cars were equipped with four exhaust, which was something that I didn't even dare to think about. Now I really dare to play, and I am getting closer to the aesthetics of auto parts city.

why does the automobile industry set off such a strange trend?

at the beginning of the 21st century, the design of exhaust ports in the automobile industry was divided into two factions, either exposed real exhaust or directly concealed exhaust. The motivation for exposure is also very simple, that is, to show off the power performance. Because large-displacement engines emit more exhaust gas, more or thicker exhaust pipes are needed. The number of exhaust pipes is linked to the strength of power in a certain sense, so it can be used to show off.

but more than ten years ago, exposed vacuum exhaust encountered some troubles. Due to the gradual tightening of emission regulations, automobile enterprises generally begin to adopt in-cylinder direct injection technology to improve the efficiency of engines. Although the direct injection technology is good, compared with the previous manifold injection technology, the mixing time of fuel and air is shorter, resulting in insufficient combustion and more particulate matter, especially in cold start and high load state. Therefore, direct injection combined with exposed real exhaust often causes a lot of black ash to gather at the exhaust port. The new car is in good condition. As long as it is driven for a long time, the shiny chrome-plated exhaust port will become dirty, even the rear bumper will be blackened, and it will be difficult to clean it, which will not look good.

at this time, car companies have thought of the advantage of hidden exhaust. Hidden exhaust, no matter how black ash accumulates, can't be seen outside, and it is clean if it is invisible; Moreover, the nozzle is facing the bottom of the car rather than the rear of the car, so there is no possibility of soiling the rear bumper.

hidden exhaust has other benefits, and safety is one of them. Think about it, if you turn off the engine and get off the bus, open the trunk to get something, and then you don't pay attention for a while, and your leg touches the exposed real exhaust ... Not to mention it, it will definitely hurt you to cry. After all, the temperature of automobile exhaust is normal temperature +5℃, which can heat the exhaust pipe to the level of teppanyaki. If it is replaced by hidden exhaust, then the safety problem does not exist.

In addition, hidden exhaust can increase the wading depth, because the opening is downward, while exposed exhaust will cause problems as long as it is not crossed by water; Because the hidden exhaust is not directly connected with the rear bumper, car companies can leave a lot of trouble when testing the exhaust vibration. If the rear bumper is slightly rubbed, there is no need to repair the exhaust pipe.

since the concealed exhaust is so good, there is only one question left. How to solve the demand of installing X? Everyone can count the number of exhaust pipes to see the power level, so how can you highlight the sense of grade when you hide it all? Perhaps inspired by the style of auto parts city, car companies decisively chose to use decorative fake exhaust, which at the same time has the X function of exposing real exhaust and the advantages of hiding exhaust. This seemingly farting operation with pants off is actually logical after careful analysis.

it is necessary for us to talk more about the false exhaust itself. I don't know if you find that the refitted parts of auto parts are trying to make fake exhaust look like real exhaust, but many car companies don't think so. The fake exhaust they make is actually a chrome-plated decorative strip in the shape of an exhaust port on the bottom of the car, which has no layering and three-dimensional sense. It doesn't need to be in winter at all. Just look carefully and you will know that it is fake.

is it fake that you don't care? Of course not. In the last century, the design trend was to highlight the mechanical beauty of the automobile as an industrial product, but now the trend of automobile design is closer to digital products, emphasizing the sense of technology, fashion and exquisiteness. In order to achieve this goal, the design elements on the car are simplified as much as possible, and the mechanical structures that can be hidden are hidden as much as possible, so as to avoid damaging the overall look and feel.

Take the logo as an example. From 219 to 22, many car companies announced to change the logo. The original three-dimensional and complex Logo was replaced by a simple, abstract and flat version, which is to cater to the changes of the times. The center console is also a part with obvious changes. Ten years ago, we were beautiful with many buttons and many functions. Now there are fewer and fewer buttons in the center console, and all the functions are integrated into the big screen.

The X-fitting function of the exposed exhaust port itself determines that it can't be omitted in many models. In order to pursue a sense of science and technology, it can only be simplified and flattened, and it can be changed from a component into a "symbol" and placed on the rear of the car. We don't pay too much attention to the fake exhaust itself, only look at the whole car butt, and then think that this design is harmonious, then the car company will achieve its goal.

When electric vehicles first came out, they were also "faked". Car companies also installed front air intake grille for electric vehicles that didn't need air intake, which looked more like people's traditional perception of "car". Nowadays, many electric vehicles no longer do this, but just have a fully enclosed front face. Because people's cognition and aesthetics are constantly changing, the sense of science and technology brought by canceling the air intake grille has gained the upper hand.

the existence of all kinds of false exhaust is also because people have a traditional impression that a car must have an exhaust pipe to look like a car. We don't know how long this concept can last, but everyone knows that installing fake exhaust on a family car won't make it run faster.
