  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.

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...
