Description
Polini Exhaust Flange for FOR RACE exhausts for Piaggio engines.
It is important to have a well-sealed exhaust flange at all times to avoid gas leakage/air intake. We recommend mounting it with high-temperature silicone sealant.
Polini For Race
The For Race series from Polini includes exhausts as well as crankshafts and clutches for scooters, 50cc supermotos and Vespas. Although the name sounds like ultra-high-quality and high-performance racing parts, this is not quite true.
The exhausts are not road-legal and are theoretically only intended for use on the race track, but due to their performance, which focuses mainly in the lower and medium RPM range, they are more suitable for sports / entry level tuning setups, which are appreciated for their balanced ratio of performance and reliability for everyday use.
The crankshafts are also suitable for sports cylinders, as are the few For Race clutches.
Polini fans looking for maximum power for the racetrack should therefore opt for the Evolution or even the P.R.E. series.
Exhaust flange
The exhaust flange provides a stable, sealed and separable connection between the exhaust and the engine.
Function of the exhaust flange
Depending on the engine type, the exhaust flange is attached to the cylinder by means of bolts or by press-fitting. It is then fitted into the exhaust pipe and held in position by two exhaust springs, thus maintaining a certain flexibility. To ensure tightness, there is normally an exhaust gasket. Thus, the flange provides a secure and at the same time flexible connection between the cylinder and the exhaust.
And what is an exhaust restrictor?
Many 50cc scooters and motorcycles are factory equipped with an exhaust / manifold restrictor. This restriction reduces the diameter of the exhaust flange, which restricts the performance of the exhaust. This restriction was introduced to comply with noise emission regulations and to limit the speed of 50cc scooters and motorcycles.
Many riders remove this restriction to improve the performance of their two-wheeler. However, the gain in power then leads to the loss of the homologation, so beware!
