This thesis deals with the design changes of intake and exhaust systems of naturally aspirated combustion engine with the aim to improve its dynamic characteristics. An overview of intake and exhaust tract designs (together with their impact on the engine efficiency) is provided in the introductory part of the thesis. Based on this knowledge, modifications of the intake and exhaust systems of Ford Windsor V8 engine were proposed and installed in a vehicle. A series of dynamic and static tests on chassis dynamometer were carried out in order to measure the impact of the changes on the torque curve. The impacts of the changes are presented in detailed analysis of power and torque characteristics with respect to the engine speed. The results are discussed and the possible causes of observed phenomena are identified.
