QD Exhaust ( Arcas Industrie ): Recent new products from Manuel de Liso ' s Milan based exhaust manufacturing business include its classic look ' MaXcone ' series mufflers - " designed for those who want a classic look ". Polished AISI 304 stainless steel gives " an aggressive and elegant character " - the die-cast magnesium end cap with the logo in relief simulates the classic " counter-cone " used in racing motorbikes of the 70s . The end caps are designed to guarantee maximum performance and ' phonometric ' yield using a perforated barrel with a 5 mm diameter hole with an 8 mm pitch . The layering of the sound-absorbing material has been designed to give a sound characterised by low frequencies below 800 Hz . They are equipped with the QD GAS-EXTRACTOR system to promote the flow of exhaust gases by increasing the extraction from the exhaust system - the GAS-EXTRACTOR creates a so-called " pulsation " area which absorbs the pressure waves generated by the engine , lowering the decibel level . All QD Exhaust products are sold with a service card that allows the owner to extend to a 30-month warranty programme and to download the European certification ; www . qdexhaust . it
