The diesel versus gas engine debate has been around forever. Both fuel sources require different types of engines because their fuel sources expend energy via two opposing methods. Meanwhile, turbochargers and fuel injection systems add complexity to the mechanical innards in the diesel compartment. These design factors explain engine performance differences and the need to roll up to the right pumps, but how do they affect  exhaust system differences ? In point of fact, are there any differences between them? Compression Contrary Designs Engine Compression characteristics are pushed to the limit in diesel applications. Temperatures rise higher, internal pressures are elevated, and gas velocities are accelerated. Conversely, more torque is generated by a diesel engine than a comparable gas model, so these lower RPMs will produce as much power as a fast-cycling gas engine. Supplemented With Turbocharger Kits The spark-less cylinders in a diesel engine rely on a compr...

Vehicle engineers have established broad exit channels for car engine exhaust , but there’s always room for improvement. A header back exhaust system reinforces this maxim by pulling up the proverbial bootstraps of the aftermarket craftsman and extending the factory replacement process all the way to the engine manifold. For a portrayal of how this process makes headway, read on and embrace our tailpipe-to-engine rundown. What is a Header Back Exhaust System? Power-robbing exhaust components go straight out the window when the kit extends all the way to the engine header. Everything, and we mean everything, is swapped out during this expansive upgrade. In doing so, the diameter of the exhaust pipework is increased, as is any intermediate linkages and crossover pipes. Finally, the muffler and catalytic converter can optionally be ousted in favour of improved chambers, but this latter rationale is subject to a manufacturer’s interpretation of the kit. Removing System Bottle...

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...
