  Muscle Steroid-like power radiates from every contour of a newly customized muscle car, but the brawny outline needs to be balanced. The engine is burning fuel but pressure is being generated as a consequence of the combustion sequence. It’s the job of a performance exhaust system to keep this power cycle intact and energy-efficient by pushing spent fuel (gas) away from the engine. Like the physique of a finely tuned athlete, the engine has to breathe properly while creating energy. Here’s a few key tips for improving performance breathing, for choosing an exhaust system for muscle car enthusiasts. Good Enough Thinking Has No Place in the Project Instructional articles tend to gravitate towards the explanation of a product and how to buy the product on a budget, but this cost-effective philosophy will only hamper exhaust customization work. Buy the best muscle car exhaust on the market if possible. If you can’t buy the more expensive option, save for an extra month. The perform...

  There’s a well-known anecdote used in engineering, a fact-based narrative that talks of how the aerospace industry is the source of many of our current products. Time-proven by rocket scientists, ceramic coated headers represent a key technological development, one that was born in space-age rocket research, and one that transfers its benefits from these rocket components to our enthusiast exhaust system market, pushing performance figures to new limits. What are Exhaust Headers? Regular vehicles arrive fresh from the factory with standardized parts, components that don’t exactly set performance charts on fire. The engine and exhaust are efficient and road worthy but won’t set any land speed records or generate a grunt of noisy power. Exhaust headers are bolt on pipes, large-diameter tubes that are bent, shaped and mounted as an engine manifold replacement. The effect of this aftermarket addition is improved engine airflow and optimized engine performance through a dramatic re...

When car enthusiasts question lackluster performance gains, all eyes turn to factory-locked exhaust pipes, for this byproduct-releasing conduit represents an easy pathway to enhanced power. A   customised exhaust system   is called for, but is this an unobstructed pathway to performance? Let’s look at the   pros and cons   associated with such a major vehicle modification. Advantageous Performance Gains Mandrel bends partner with wide diameter pipes to release engine exhaust fumes quickly, which equals improved chemical energy utilization. Fuel efficiency is maximized. Next, power and torque ratios are fully realized, thus granting the horsepower gods’ unfettered access to the drivetrain. In short, engine byproducts are efficiently evacuated so that the engine can properly perform as intended. The Drawbacks Of A Buyer Beware Mentality A customised exhaust system tops the list of popular modifications, but first-timers tend to hesitate at this point, maybe because thi...

  Are you shopping for a performance exhaust system for your ‘special’ car or truck? If you are, you’re not alone in having to comb through countless exhaust deals online, and then reading all of their specifications. Honestly, it is confusing, unless you understand performance exhaust systems like an expert. With that said, it can be a concerning quest having to choose a ‘good’ performance exhaust system because these run a few hundred dollars. That is why it just makes sense to ask an exhaust system expert which ones are best to install on your vehicle? Cat-Back Exhaust System Recommended by Exhaust Experts Whether you have a special car or truck that you want to breathe some life back into, cat back systems can definitely help you draw the most power out of your engine’s performance. There are different types of these exhausts – cat back exhausts, basically, it refers to a section of your vehicle’s exhaust system – the section running from the catalytic converter to the tip ...

As the name implies, a bolt-on axle back exhaust system starts at the rear axle. Everything from the rear wheels to the mufflers tips can be included in this kit. A cursory examination of an upgraded aftermarket exhaust system that uses axle-back piping reveals powerful rear-end enhancements, including big improvements over factory stock parts, but no intermediate pipes are included in the package. Let’s tackle a hypothetical example of this abbreviated design profile. What is an Axle Back Exhaust System? It’s the muffler, pipes, and all associated parts as far back as the rear axle. Large and attractive muffler tips fall into this product category, as do the short sections of pipe that couple to the mid or intermediate pipe. The focus, therefore, is on supplying a superior rear-end kit, something that looks good and is capable of providing an enhanced final stage exit aperture for spent engine gases. When Axle Back Configurations Just Make Sense When replacing factory-installed pip...

A dictionary definition of smoke describes any airborne particulate that’s rising from burning fuel, be it wood or some other combustible material. Keep that in mind while we delve into smoke and tailpipe noise, because these unwholesome issues need immediate attention. Worst-case Exhaust Smoke Issues Just as a sharp-eyed physician can diagnose medical problems by conducting a few basic tests, so can a mechanic see that something is seriously amiss when your vehicle is producing smoke. Even the colour of the cloudy stuff tells a story. White smoke is often a clue that a coolant leak is in progress. Blue smoke, something no one ever wants to see, indicates a breach in the engine. Oil is burning, the noxious leak is poisoning the breathing cycle of the engine, and the environment is being exposed to very harmful emissions . This worst-case scenario represents a significant threat to the local ecology and to the driver. It must be repaired. The Hazards Associated with Noisy Tailpipes This...

Your vehicle’s muffler is vital the overall health and quality of your car. However, most people don’t realise how important the muffler is until there is something wrong with it. Today we are going to talk about one particular problem and that is when your muffler gets punctured. There are a few different signs and symptoms that your muffler has suffered from a puncture and we figure that those are better learned sooner than later but first let us learn a little bit about your muffler and how it functions. What does my muffler do? Your muffler is an individual chamber that exists within a larger system called your exhaust system. Located right before your tailpipe, your muffler is filled with different sized metal tubes. The goal of your muffler is to reduce noise by absorbing sound to keep your car running quietly and smooth. When your muffler is operating at full capacity you won’t even notice it is doing anything. When your muffler is punctured or perforated, well, that is an ent...
