Why
hard-anodize a tuned pipe?
There
are a few important benefits to hard anodizing a tuned pipe,
none of which include "good looks". You may like
the rugged appearance of the matte green finish that is unique
to true hard anodizing, but the real benefits are more practical.
Here's a quick list of the benefits:
•
More durable, scratch resistant coating
• Hardens the material to resist bending
• Improved resonance for maximum performance
Hard
anodizing is a coating that penetrates the surface of the
aluminum and at the same time it builds up a hard protective
layer above the raw aluminum. This coating is much more difficult
to scratch, which will preserve the appearance of the pipe
for a much longer period of time.
Hard
anodizing increases the strength of the aluminum, making it
more resistant to bending. This means your pipe will be less
prone to dents and dings from contact with racing barriers,
other cars or the racing surface.
Most
importantly, hard anodizing improves the resonance of the
aluminum. This means there's more of a "ping" to
the material when you tap it. This helps to tuned pipe to
do its job because higher resonance means that the sound waves
will resonate more strongly back and forth in the pipe. The
stronger sounds waves help the pipe function more efficiently,
which translates into more horsepower.
You
may have noticed that some of the best RC tuned pipes in the
world all have that distinctive dark green color - hard anodizing
has been a speed secret of the world's best engine gurus for
years.
