Should I Upgrade My Exhaust System?

Standard
automotive exhaust systems are designed to do two primary tasks,
which, in basic terms, are reducing engine noise and preventing
harmful fumes from entering the passenger cabin by routing emissions
out the back of the car. The thing is, these factory exhaust systems
are designed to cater to a wide variety of drivers in places all over
the world with certain emissions laws. What this adds up to when it
comes to most stock exhaust, is a subpar system. Adding aftermarket
exhaust can certainly improve the driving experience, but how? Keep
reading to learn about the benefits of custom exhaust.

The
reason many drivers are interested in custom exhaust is because it
can improve power under the hood. While the boost in HP won’t be as
grand as adding a turbo or something of that nature, the increase is
certainly not insignificant. The reason that custom exhaust can
improve horsepower is because it can reduce back pressure. While back
pressure is necessary, too much of it can eat up power. In the end,
better airflow results in higher power output.

What
some people are surprised to learn is that custom exhaust can
actually improve fuel economy. This is especially true when
installing larger exhaust pipes from the catalytic converter back.
What this does is allow fumes to escape more quickly from the car.
The faster that exhaust leaves the vehicle, the more quickly the
cylinder heads can intake air and fuel to begin a new combustion
cycle. Ultimately it boils down to the more air out, the more air in,
which results in a more efficient engine.

A
custom exhaust system can greatly alter the sound of your engine,
giving it a muscle-like roar, a pitched whine, a throaty grumble or
other audible alteration. If a certain type of sound is desired, be
sure to talk to a custom exhaust expert to ensure you get the perfect
results for your car.

Ultimately,
as with most car mods, a custom exhaust system is a reflection of the
driver. If you want your car’s exhaust to do its own talking, come
