Principis de funcionament
The Gibson Performance 310001 Power Tip Muffler is designed to utilize water to dampen sound, effectively reducing decibel ranges. It is engineered to meet or surpass sound regulations, such as the 88db limits required by the California SAE J2005 Motorboat Sound Law, without compromising engine power. The muffler operates by directing exhaust gases through a chamber where water helps to absorb sound waves, resulting in a quieter exhaust note.
