Cold exhaust gases on one side

Post by dirty paradise »

So the VTR is back together, and running YAY!! Just need to update the V5C, and its good to go.

I noticed one thing though, after letting it idle for 10 mins ish and taking it for a quick spin around the block, the gases from the right exhaust can come out cold... The left hand side is normal.
Any ideas?

Yep perfectly normal There's a restrictor in the system that stops gas flow to the right side at lower revs/speed. :thumbup:

Actually the restrictor is always restricting. Its not a flap that opens and closes as the above might have been taken.

The different temps are caused by it though. Left side is more free flowing so gasses exit somewhat faster.
It may only be my opinion but it's mine!
