LEADERS OF INNOVATION

 

The close cooperation between commercial staff and technical and production departments brings about an efficient swapping and a proper processing of information, crucial for anticipating market trends in order to bring onto the market cutting edge products.

 

Experts study carefully each single vehicle, diameter and thickness of the various stainless steel pipes, they calculate runs and curves to improve the flow of the exhaust gases so they can design the most appropriate silencer, by shape, size and manufacturing techniques, all to ensure the right sound without slowing down passing gases.

 

Once the first prototype is ready it is mounted on the car model, to test out the overall dimensions and fixing points and to ensure a straightforward assembly of the unit.

 

Next follow tests to check the balance between back pressure decrease and the flow of the unburnt gases, in order to reduce the use of fuel.

 

Then noise meter tests are carried out on the road, both inside and outside the vehicle, to make sure there is the unmistakable Ragazzon sound within reasonable parameters.

 

Finally we perform rolling tests to define real final performance improvements and whether the result is up to Ragazzon's exacting standards.
