Exhaust shopping plans keeping you up at night? Wondering what exhaust system will be the best suit for your car? Before you dive in for the purchase, tip the scales to your side with 5 4X4 exhaust system facts- You should change the factory exhaust- It's a common perception that the factory set-up parts are perfect for a machine/automobile. This is even true in terms of most appliances and even a lot of automobiles. But, if you own a 4x4 and want to explore the whole potential of your drive- you should switch to aftermarket 4WD exhausts. There are options for single and dual exhaust kits. They both improve the performance, fuel economy, and sound of your vehicle. Double ones are just a bit more difficult to install and have a more customized look. Different material 4x4 exhausts offer different characteristics- You can choose from different materials. The stock exhausts mostly use standard low to mid-grade stainless steel. On the other hand, if you want better quality, you can c...

  A must-have accessory for your precious vehicles, a catalytic converter is primarily defined as an exhaust emission control device. That means, it is responsible for the reduction of toxic gases and fumes emitting from your vehicle’s internal combustion engine. With the rampant increase in pollution levels, Govt. all across the world have taken a stricter stand towards environment pollution; most of it occurring due to the frequent use of automobiles. In fact, vehicle emission was posing such a threat to our environment that the Australian Govt. in 1986 ordered vehicle owners to thoroughly clean their car emission systems for residual toxicity. This was enforced alongside a new law that made catalytic converters a mandate for every vehicle plying on the road. Now think about your vehicle and its wellbeing. Toxic gases and fumes trapped inside your vehicle is not just a threat to the environment, but to your car too. Imagine all the toxic gases piling up inside your engine. Most...

A glimpse at the different X-Pipe, H-Pipe , and Y-Pipe exhaust system configurations has a novice scratching his head. What’s with all the form factor conventions? Does one perform better than the other? Then, aside from the shapes, there are other differences to scrutinise. Let’s check out the three pipe configurations, their unique qualities, and the reasons for the flow alterations. Exhaust Systems as Characters   There’s not a whole alphabet of welded tubes in the shop, all waiting to be bolted to a car’s underside. No, there’ll never be an A-to-Z of flow shaping pipework. But the X-Pipe , H-Pipe , and Y-Pipe aftermarket product range do have an important place in the exhaust gasses channeling field. Primarily tasked with creating distinctive flow patterns, this is a mid-pipe exhaust stream management system , one that unleashes vehicle horsepower. How do these three pipe types pull off that impressive objective? Crossover Engineered Exhaust Principles   When...

If you’re wondering about Pacemaker Headers , don’t attempt to puzzle out this term by yourself. You’ll end up visualising an electronic gizmo that’s intended for an ailing heart, and you’d definitely be on the wrong track. This is a brand name, a car enthusiast vendor that manufactures exhaust system headers . Australian built, Pacemaker pipework is built for performance, thanks to a pipe-over-cone feature that edges out the competition. A Header Refresher As you probably recall, engine headers bolt on to the exhaust manifold in your vehicle’s engine. The object of the uniquely profiled back pressure reducers is to give each cylinder its own discharge path, with the channels then blending into a single thick bore tube. When you install a header system , you’re taking the load off the cylinders by endowing them with their own outlet channel, one that then combines attractively with its peers to quickly dismiss all exhaust gases . In appearance, the pipes make your vehicle look ...

Injection systems improve engine performance , so why shouldn’t a similar mechanism enhance your exhaust output? Instead of fuel injection , however, the tech we’re about to discuss injects Urea into diesel exhaust streams. Buckle in while we explain what’s known as Selective Catalytic Reduction and Urea injection . It’s a chemical process that’s been used in industrial diesel engines for some time now, and it’s also found in car exhaust systems . What is Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR)? Selective catalytic reduction technology uses an active chemical injectant as an emission mitigation solution. Specifically, the catalytic agent targets the poisonous nitrogen oxide (Nox) fumes in your exhaust , which is why the technology earns the “selective” prefix. Down among the exhaust pipes , a dosing tank is injecting a gaseous reductant into the engine byproduct stream. A redox reaction takes place between the reductant and the nitrogen oxide. Basically, through some invis...

The petrol versus diesel debate is all about emissions now. Performance differences still come up, as does the cold weather waxing that once troubled diesel fuels . Mostly, though, the combustible side of things has equalised. Meanwhile, back at that emissions tug-o-war, we still need to pick out a clear winner. Proceeding onwards with a comparison of carbon emissions , which fuel carries the day? Coming To Terms with Four Strokes Differences The two internal combustion engine types obviously take different approaches when they’re producing drive energy. Beyond a doubt, the familiar 4-stroke cycle is hard at work. Both engine types are taking in fuel, compressing that fuel, igniting it, and finally kicking out the exhaust . However, that’s where the similarities stop. Petrol engines use a spark to generate combustion energy, whereas diesel engines rely on a direct fuel injection system and compression. Emissions: A Cleanliness Clash First of all, there’s no real competi...

Car mods are designed to augment engine performance . Of course, an aesthetic enhancement is also desirable, but engine improvements come first. Lake pipes adhere to this core aftermarket principle by first enhancing engine respiration, but they also follow the second law of the aftermarket charter. That’s right, they inject cars with retro appeal. Stylish by design, what does it take to create this iconic 1950s exhaust mod ? Exposed Piping When a gearhead allows his four-wheeled addiction to take over, a car’s suspension sometimes drops. The lowered body profile looks cool, but the chassis is now scraping the road. Imagine performance enthusiasts debating what to do with the exhaust pipes when they’re faced with this issue. They pause for a moment, sure, but then the work surges forward again as the pipes move up and out to the side of the chassis. This move preceded the birth of the first lake pipes . Side-mounted and fully exposed, the long tubes hugged the lower sides...
