Abstract

The Formula Student race car's exhaust system play a crucial role in engine performance and overall speed. For fuel system, it ensures driver’s safety, comfort, and fuel delivery. The current system is not efficient, leading to high backpressure in the exhaust and danger for driver. To address these issue, the project aims to design and fabricate an optimized exhaust and fuel systems using Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software and metal fabrication techniques. The optimized system is expected to reduce backpressure, and improve engine performance, resulting in a faster race car. Also, ensures driver’s safety, efficient fuel delivery and efficient throttle control for the race car. The project involves analyzing the current system, designing the optimized system, and fabricating it to match specifications. In conclusion, the prototype was successfully designed at Solid works according to the desired criteria, which to maximize the power output. Also, containing the fuel that needed by the engine to operate. Next, this project also successfully installed the fuel tank and exhaust to the formula student race car that going to be use on the competition. The efficient exhaust and fuel systems are essential for the performance of a Formula Student race car and can enhance engine performance and speed.
