When Dodge previewed its Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust for the all-electric Charger Daytona SRT concept (pictured), enthusiasts were divided. Some thought the idea of a faux exhaust system, designed to help EVs mimic the howl of a V8, was a cringe-worthy gimmick. It’s hard to know exactly how to feel about the above concepts.

Dilution, with either air or exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), reduces the peak combustion temperatures to avoid high NO x formation rates. The lower combustion efficiencies observed for the more premixed concepts stem from overly lean regions which result in overly low combustion temperatures (i.e. less than ~1400 K / 1127 ˚C).
