Image
  Your vehicle’s exhaust system can play an important role in how your vehicle looks or feels. Whether you drive a family car or a mean  4X4 truck , your car’s exhaust system can change the appearance, performance, and even the sound of the vehicle. But how? Thanks to Exhaust Tips What Are Exhaust Tips? Popularly known as the “muffler tip” your car exhaust tip is the visible section of the exhaust- the exhaust tailpipe. The tailpipe of the exhaust is responsible for channeling and releasing harmful gases and fumes safely out of the car. Now depending on the type of vehicle you drive, your exhaust system may come in various sizes, shapes, and even styles. Some vehicles have single exhaust system while other may have two. Exhaust tips are additional accessories for your car that fits into the existing  car exhaust system .

The Rewards Of Customising Your Vintage Vehicle

Image
  Vintage cars are literally to-die-for. Not only are they a living piece of history that you can brag about without fear or shame, they are also a testament to craftsmanship that has all but faded into the hinterlands of memory.  Vintage cars  are not only great collector’s pieces they are eye candy that you can boast about, as you ride it in real time. However, most vintage cars tend to ‘pale’ in comparison to modern vehicles, not in regards to craftsmanship, but in those little aspects that make modern cars a marvel – electronics. Such things can be as simple as built-in GPS, a sound-system, air-conditioning, advanced car security, power output management systems and the like, all of which are absent or lacking in vintage vehicles. But you needn’t be stuck with a vintage vehicle as-is, because the rewards of  customizing your vintage vehicles  are nothing short of life-changing, not only for you, but for your treasured vehicle. Why customize? Customizing your...

Maximising Fuel Economy With The Use Of Headers

Image
Restless see-saw reasoning accompanies aftermarket modifications. One exhaust can extend performance and add throaty noise to the profile of the vehicle, but the change hamstrings fuel economy. A dizzying back and forth ensues as street performance or off-road aptitude is balanced against petrol mileage. Custom headers aid in this scenario by coming down firmly on the engine optimization side of the see-saw. The kit, as we all know, delivers instant aesthetic appeal, a chrome-plated, titanium coated killer look, but function has to match this aggressive profile or the owner only ends up with a better looking stock exhaust replacement . To really maximize fuel economy, performance headers are manufactured to a shape and size that improves engine “breathing.” A Brief Anatomy of Internal Combustion Breathing Miniature explosions drive engines, but spent fuel has to move away from the combustion area in order for the next burn cycle to occur. If this discharge routine didn’t happen, then ...

What is a Cat-Back Exhaust System?

Image
  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.

Legal Decibel Emissions for a Car Exhaust

Image
A deep sense of satisfaction slips through your vibrating bones when your exhaust system lets rip , but that happy grin rapidly drops away when you enter a residential district. Clearly, your car exhaust is generating too much noise. It’s breaking some local ordinance and upsetting your neighbours. Let’s pacify that street full of howling dogs and angry residents by making sure your exhaust noise level is street legal. Gain Some Noise Perspective The decibel scale measures sound intensity. The loudness of the sound is calibrated across a logarithmic scale, but we don’t really need to know the mathematics behind the science. Suffice to say, we have a measurement system for sound intensity, and we also have several reference points that illustrate key points on that chart. If you’re listening to a regular conversation, you’re experiencing 60-dB (decibels) of loudness. A crowded party ramps that figure up to 70-dB. It’s at this point that you really recognize the sound as an irrit...

Exhaust System Cleaning: How it Can Help Boost Engine Performance

Image
If your financial situation is rocky this month, you probably think your vehicle’s performance credentials aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. Hit the brakes on that thought, for there’s a way to boost engine performance without buying a new exhaust kit . We’re talking about exhaust system cleaning , a procedure that purges hydrocarbon leftovers and other pipe-fused pollutants so that the exhaust gases produced by your car engine can move unimpeded. Beware of Carbon Deposits An underappreciated exhaust system has to deal with the same waste that it’s removing from the discharge rushing out of the vehicle’s pipe tips. Certainly, most of this gaseous load is catalysed, broken down until it’s transformed into oxygen and nitrogen. However, the fuel is loaded with hydrocarbons, which means carbon particulates are also passengers in the exhaust stream. That sooty stuff, even in tiny quantities, tends to coat the inner surfaces of your pipework in ashy carbon. Sparks Performanc...

Most Common Symptoms of Car Exhaust Leak

Image
Use your five senses when a car exhaust leak is suspected. Swap out the sense of taste for common sense, though, because you’re not about to lick a failing exhaust pipe. Anyways, the symptoms we’re looking for are likely to cause a racket, and they’ll probably stink. Finally, look for clouds of nasty gases. Better yet, come with us now as we describe these common symptoms. Noise and Vibrations A performance-tuned exhaust roar is loud, but there’s a feeling of refined control behind the sonic rumbling.  Damaged car exhaust  systems, on the other hand, create a hissing and crackling racket. Listen for the irregular sputtering tones as a rusted or blown seam is forced open. The backpressure is leaking, perhaps before any hazardous emissions are scrubbed from the discharge. A “bad vibes” feeling often accompanies the noise. The harsh metallic reverberations propagate through the chassis, run up the steering wheel, and reduce the vehicle’s handling characteristics. Livin...

Double Chamber Exhaust System

Image
A double chamber exhaust system  is arguably one of the most attractive aftermarket additions on the market. Instead of a narrow containment area, one that limits the processing innards, a beefed up double chamber unit provides ample gas routing space. Broadened  exhaust tips  peer out from the expanded profile so that the overall shape of the system suggests pure performance output force. With that being said, do they deliver on that performance front as well as they do in the looks department? Double Chambered Performance Gains  If the different pipe crossover profiles in the mid-pipe lines act as inline control elements, the sections that control how the back pressure gasses interact, then an end-point  double chamber exhaust system  manages that enhanced performance envelope at the output threshold. Designed with doubled-up tailpipes, the expanded chamber provides a figurative exclamation point of exhalation for those gases, with the signature...
