- How F1 Sound is made. Formula One cars do sound very special (the V8's, V10's and V12's). But there is some 'trick' behind that screaming Formula 1 exhaust sound, that nobody seems to know about.
But thanks to the supporters of www.maisteers-exhaust-sound-resear.ch - You will find out about it too. - Авто та транспорт
Hello mr maisteer. I was wondering, everyone always says how an 8 to 1 or 12 to 1 or whatever to 1 is the best way to sound good. But you have talked about how the collector creates a change in area and a sudden change in pressure and therefore a scavenging pressure wave back to the cylinder. If im not wrong this is pretty much how the step in the primary works. So would it be better to have a 12 to 6 to 3 to 1 or a 8 to 4 to 2 to 1 to create more pressure waves like the step? Would multiple steps make the tone more "harmonious" how does the size of the step affect the sound...
These videos are great. I come hoping for answers and just end up with more questions ❤
Best question ever. I think nobody really understood that concept until now. I think most still don't.
Stepped headers are nothing new. I've read in Graham Bell's book "Four-stroke Performance Tuning" (page 288) about stepped headers almost 20 years ago - he described how big they should be and where to place them - for power.
In Honda's "Technical Review 2009 - F1 Special" - they also mention the benefits of stepped headers: "At 17500 rpm, a gain of 4 - 8 kW was realized as compared to an exhaust without steps." They are not shy explaining the power benefits of stepped headers.
But in no book or paper did I ever read : "Oh, by the way - stepped headers really change the sound." - engineers just don't care, and nobody else did seem to notice.
Without understanding that - it's impossible to come up with a logical theory that could explain the sound of cars like the Zonda and the "all-into-1" headers at the same time. They seemingly have not much in common. On top of that, the "all-into-one" headers seemed to be a bit of a hit and a miss if they get to sound like that.
It was also a bit of a stretch to come up with an explanation why F1 cars did sound the way they did. That the rpm is the "main reason" sounds logical at first, but when you hear that a V8 powered F1 car from before 1998 revving to 14,000rpm doesn't "scream" at all, while a later V8 powered F1 car at low rpm casually rolling by sounds way more savage - the rpm explanation becomes very questionable.
"So would it be better to have a 12-to-6-to-3-to-1 or a 8-to-4-to-2-to-1 to create more pressure waves like the step?" - The next logical questions I have are: What happens when you combine these headers with the steps? How will more steps influence the sound? How big should the steps be? What role does the pipe length in between the steps/collectors play? (From my observation this seems to be critical - but not in the way I expected. It's more like: it works or not - without much nuance - like a on/off switch).
But I can't answer them yet. That's what I need the support from "maisteers-exhaust-sound-resear.ch" for. So maybe next time I can...
I think you are a genius for coming up with that. I have no idea if it would improve the sound but it seems logical to me👍
@@maisteer I find it fascinating that this info is not as common as one would think, after all these decades and all the people that enjoy engine noise, I'm definitely getting the best sounding motorcycle exhaust one could make on a future bike
Wonder if you could sleeve the pipes to vary the internal diameter without changing the external diameter
@@nbtmx1 Unnecessarily difficult to do. Just cut the pipe, and weld in a section with a slightly larger diameter. ez.

My v12 single turbo miata is gonna sound sick now.
I am joking, but this is cool to know❤
Well, guess my miata is getting stepped headers
Now that you have promised, you have to make a Video on it for youtube...
Right on .. imma try a idea of it on my turbo miata , so we shall hopefully share beautiful harmonious exhaust sounds with each other my miata brother .. peace and love fam , keep it rad , stay safe , and build on
@@fabiom7078 seconded lol
@@mastercricket7626 A turbo throws around the pressure waves and changes the sound completely. I'm guessing it won't work at all
It may work, but I would expect it to be limited in sound. Both Miata and Maisteer use a 4 cylinder engine, but the engine Maisteer uses is a motorcycle engine and the exhaust pipe is short compared to the standard length found in the Miata.
What a man, spends years trying to figure it out and just shares it
@@Professor-Scientist so you are a shit proffesor :)))

Maisteer should've came to me 9 years ago. I would've told him the secret. My banshee with DMC 916 exhausts sounds the same as an F1 because of the shape 😂

you are bout to begin a revolution in NA custom headers. Thank you maisteer
Thanks for the clickbait thumbnail, if not for it I would've missed this legendary video.
Same xD

Haha, yes!
I JUST NOTICED THAT EVEN NASCAR USES STEPS TO THIS DAY! It's not the boom tubes that so many truck guys love to put on their vehicles, ITS THE STEPS! NOT THE BOOM TUBES, ITS THE STEPS! SOMEONE TELL THE BOOM TUBE GUYS THIS
the boom tubes definitely have a part in it
@@tiagobelo4965 Ok, I was wrong, but STILL, they clearly aren't going to get anywhere near the same sound without the steps. That's how I always felt whenever I saw boom tube truck videos, It felt like it simply didn't sound right at all.
WHAT?
@@SoylentGamertrucks shouldn’t sound at all like an F1, it’s just not right.
@@Vanilla_Smoke_ But these guys are trying to get the authentic NASCAR sound, and the authentic NASCAR sound means stepped headers, because that's what they use.
Bro is just open source. Sending big hug for that
search for the pdf named F1-SP2e_all , a lot of stuff from that era of F1 is kinda open source now.
Edit: 05.07.2024 - Because the concept was explained only very briefly in the video - I wrote up a more detailed explanation of my current understanding of the topic and send it out to all the supporters of www.maisteers-exhaust-sound-resear.ch . There are quite a few things I don't fully understand yet. And a few more I'm curious about if they work. That's what the research fund is for - to answer these questions. But I can't do it without your support. Thank you.

In 7 minutes you've probably learned more about exhausts than in the last couple of years combined. I'd like to keep it that way.
If you'd like that too, consider supporting maisteers-exhaust-sound-resear.ch
Endless gratitude for @trackdayclassics and his 8-into-1 Mustang ua-cam.com/video/dKVRBFLDwsU/v-deo.htmlsi=ODcYQFwC4j3Lj60c
and especially for the fabricator of his 8-into-1 header (he wanted to remain unnamed) - without talking to him, I might not have figured that out. I hope I can pay him back someday for all of his support.
And many thanks for all the supporters of the exhaust research. Without you I wouldn't be able to test the theories I'm thinking of - so no progress would be made. Thanks again.
How come the garage sasaki or ferrari f1 or 812 headers achieve the sound without the steps? Are you sure its not just a powerband thing?
Thank you. Your search for the music of exhaust notes and my quest to make my dad's lawnmower less abusive when I cut the grass have just crossed paths.
@maisteer You need to look into Brilliant Exhaust and Sasaki-san's fabrication of the Mercedes M120 V12's exhausts he does. You probably are aware of it but seems like someone who shares your passion
Never mind; I see you're well aware of it looking at your other videos. I'll watch your other videos... looking for the right setup for my V10 M6 6-speed
Bravo Maisteer! Such an interesting subject, glad you found the secret.
Is that a freaking 4 cylinder at the end of the video?! Good lord this changes everthing, miata track days are about to sound glorious

OH FINALLY, NEW VIDEO!!! Man, I love your videos! It’s absolutely ridiculous combination of phsysics lessons, great cold Geman humor and absolutely over-the-top edits!
They use stepped headers on motorcycles with V twin facing the road.
One cylinder having a longer pipe than the other ,so to keep equal exhaust pulse travel time,the step up on cylinder pipe,so gases take longer to travel this bigger pipe,and both cylinders have equal duration exhaust pulses.
Generally you step up piping on bends,so the gases gain pressure and reduce speed,so travel easier in bends.
Can they make the turbo v6 of 2026 sound like this???
F1 engines just like diesel engines are very efficient - they send very little energy out of the exhaust. I don't see how splitting up weak pressure wave into even weaker pressure waves can result in a greater sound than what we know already. The engines I'm curious to hear with stepped headers are the rotaries. They send A LOT of energy out of the exhaust. They might set a new standard.
With enough sound detaining and speakers, yes.

That's incredible. Been a while since I learned a REAL piece of valuable information on exhausts. Thank you sir for your work.
That mustang sounds so sweet in person. Its unreal. I watched it race HSR a few seasons ago. Sounds glorious!
Thank you for going on this journey. I literally clapped during the video!!!
I haven’t gotten sucked into someone’s genuine passion so quickly in a long time. Glad I watched this video and glad you uncovered this technique and made the automotive world much better for it
I've got stepped headers on my engine and they sound great. It's a four cylinder and non-sequential collector so doesn't have that F1 spund but it definitely sounds special compared to a normal one.
The steps also help extract exhaus gasses quicker and properly tuned length, means you get a greater scavenging effect at whatever RPM you tune them for.
You are magic. Spend 10 years cracking the code for us all, and open source the sauce. Legendary
so glad that YT algorythm brought me here, love F1 and never coped on that between 1997 and 1998 engine sound changed that much. Good job figuring this out and sharing with world.
Maisteer... I think after all the hard work and research to get your biggest goal which was finding all the things needed to get a real F1 sound out of your V12 and could be any other car, I think we can say you finally got it man... Now I CAN'T wait to see your adjusting the V12 or in the hardest way, redesign the header style to finally hear that beast not roar... but SCREAM simphonys of pure good old engine glory. You're THE man Sir, waiting anxious for your next video. Keep the passion up!
And its amazing how much induction noise adds to the flavour.
Mr Maisteer... take a look at the Celeritech "8-4-1" header for the C6 Corvette. There's only one video showing the sound on youtube. But it sounds quite nutty. I hope it sparks your curiosity a little bit
Wake up boys, the exhaust gas king has posted
Hope this video blows up dude! Amazing work! Thank you so much!
This video packed a lot of punch, incredible work!
a few years back I did a V10 F1 header copy design in Grabcad complete with stepped headers. just grabbed a picture off the internet and put it into CAD using a lot of creativity. I read somewhere why they were stepped but forgot why now. a few days back I attended the F1 exhibit in Toronto and both Haas (Ferrari) and Mercedes engines were featured. Of course they are turbo V6 engines so entirely different from days past. As they both had heat shielding on the primaries it was hard to tell on any detail construction.
Goddammit this guy he has snuck into the algo and as a gearhead I fucking love it lol
awe, I really hope the fia uses your exhaust
thats literally amazing
you spent ten years making the little engines sound like the big ones
bravo sir!
it really isn't that simple they've used already in a 18k rpm engine. but the v6 is designed to have most power with pressure wave lowed to a point where even if they did use it on a v6 turbo it wouldn't change the sound
This was amazing and very insightful. I hope to hear more cars sounding like this soon!
Cant beleive you finally got it, and you best believe that once i have the cash saved up im going to an exhaust builder and asking for em to build me a nice stepped exhaust!
This, in combination with a small liter size (that helps as the shorter stroke allows for higher revs) is a deadly combination
Propa to this guy for working on a project for so long, almost by himself, and then not gatekeeping the results
Incredible work at making those music notes!
Notice how his facial expression changes when he smashes the throttle, similar to a guitarist immersed in their music. He loves it!
This video really describes my feeling for the last few years! Now's the time to look at the difference in the headers between a Murcielago and a Aventador to confirm this theory.
That sweet sound! Was happy to see a new video!

Mr Maisteer… MUSIC we need to tune each runner to make a note, each runner a separate note of a chord, and we place them in order of MUSIC. We could play our song of engines… chatgpt says:
Yes, it's possible to design the sections of an exhaust runner to have resonant frequencies corresponding to musical notes, and to arrange these sections so that their combined effect produces a chord. Here’s a step-by-step approach to achieve this:
1. **Determine the Starting Frequency**: Calculate the resonant frequency of the initial section of the exhaust runner. The fundamental frequency of a pipe is determined by its length, diameter, and the speed of sound in the medium (exhaust gases).
2. **Select the Notes**: Choose the musical notes that correspond to the desired chord. For example, a simple major chord consists of the root note, a major third, and a perfect fifth.
3. **Calculate the Required Frequencies**: Convert the chosen musical notes into their corresponding frequencies in Hertz (Hz). For example, if you choose an A major chord:
- A4 (root) = 440 Hz
- C#5 (major third) = 554.37 Hz
- E5 (perfect fifth) = 659.25 Hz
4. **Design the Sections**: Adjust the length of each section to achieve the desired resonant frequencies. The formula for the fundamental frequency of an open pipe is:
\[ f = \frac{v}{2L} \]
where \( f \) is the frequency, \( v \) is the speed of sound in the exhaust gases, and \( L \) is the length of the pipe.
- For the first section, calculate its length \( L_1 \) to achieve the root note.
- For the second section, which is stepped up in diameter, calculate its length \( L_2 \) to achieve the major third. The change in diameter will affect the speed of sound and the resonant frequency, so adjust \( L_2 \) accordingly.
- For the third section, calculate its length \( L_3 \) to achieve the perfect fifth, considering the new diameter.
5. **Adjust for Diameter Changes**: When the diameter changes, the effective length of the pipe changes due to changes in the speed of sound and the acoustic properties. Use appropriate corrections to adjust the lengths.
### Example Calculation:
1. **Initial Section (1.625 inches ID)**:
- Assume speed of sound in exhaust gases \( v \approx 350 \, m/s \).
- For \( A4 = 440 \, Hz \):
\[ L_1 = \frac{v}{2f} = \frac{350}{2 \times 440} \approx 0.3977 \, m \]
2. **Second Section (1.75 inches ID)**:
- Calculate the new speed of sound for the larger diameter.
- Adjust the length \( L_2 \) for \( C#5 = 554.37 \, Hz \).
3. **Third Section (1.875 inches ID)**:
- Similarly, adjust \( L_3 \) for \( E5 = 659.25 \, Hz \).
### Final Considerations:
- The exact speed of sound in the exhaust gases can vary based on temperature and pressure, so these need to be factored in.
- The step-up transitions will affect the exact resonant frequencies, so fine-tuning and empirical testing might be necessary.
By carefully calculating and adjusting the lengths of each section, you can create an exhaust runner with resonant frequencies corresponding to a musical chord. This approach combines principles of acoustics and exhaust dynamics to achieve the desired sound profile.
I have nothing else to say than THANK YOU for your effort and long hours of hard work and dedication.
Its really admirable that someone is willing to put that much headache for finding out these things and then even sharing that with everyone.
