Question 1

Does bike silencer affect mileage?

Accepted Answer

Yes, changing the silencer will undoubtedly increase fuel consumption and have an impact on exhaust emissions. This is because the silencer is tested and optimised to provide the highest efficiency while producing the fewest emissions gases possible; otherwise, it is not applicable to emission norms.

Question 2

What if water goes in silencer of bike?

Accepted Answer

Because it cannot enter the engine in that way, water seeping into a silencer shouldn't have much of an impact (working against gravity as well as exhaust gases).

Question 3

Are silencers illegal in India?

Accepted Answer

No, silencers are not illegal in India. However, their use might be regulated to prevent excessive noise pollution. Always check local regulations for specific guidelines.

Question 4

Does silencer reduce mileage?

Accepted Answer

A well-maintained silencer generally doesn't negatively impact mileage. However, a damaged or clogged silencer can restrict exhaust flow, potentially affecting fuel efficiency. Regular checks ensure optimal performance.
