The most cost effective and one of the easiest modifications
you can make your car is adding a high performance exhaust system. It is not only very much effective, but also
affordable and easy to install. Today, for the growing price of gas, the
subject of more gas mileage is on just about every driver’s mind. A high
performance exhaust system will help increase mileage too.
For every car owner or drives, the exhaust system is one of
the most essential parts of an automobile that one shouldn't ignore. It performs
two important functions: first, it disposes of the dangerous engine gases from
the vehicle. Second, it reduces the noise made by the escaping gases. The
exhaust system in car is considered as a safety device because it transports
the carbon monoxide that is harmful to a point just behind the passenger
compartment before releases to the outside air.
A faulty car exhaust systems can cause the inevitable leakage of the gases, for which we
could suffer from headaches, nausea and even irritability. Exposure to huge
doses of the gases can also result into a loss of consciousness and in some
extreme cases, certain death. One thing that every car owners or drivers must
remember is that, as the exhaust system is responsible for removing noise,
inconsistent engine rumblings are an absolute, that the car is in immediate
need for the services of a reliable auto shop.
Moreover, an exhaust system is also beneficial to the
emission control system of a vehicle because it enhances the performance of
emission control devices. And defects in any of the exhaust pipes or mufflers
can directly result into a loss of power for the car's engine and misfiring. This
thing may have ill effects on the precise calibration of the exhaust emission
control system, which, in turn, can also affect other systems of the car. Since
everything on a vehicle works through a series of connections so one small
problem in any of the exhaust parts could develop a huge problem which might
cause huge amount of money to repair. Keep in mind that to properly design
exhaust system you have contact or hire an experienced and knowledgeable
professional. If it is designed improperly, there is a chances that it will
make more noise and no more power or gas mileage.
As they are comparatively cheap, provide decent performance
gains, and is easy to install, most of the car owner go for a system that includes
only the system from the rear of the catalytic converter to the exhaust tip.
This is known as a "cat back" system. However, extra performance can
be had by installing a complete system from the exhaust manifold to the tip. If
you want, you can also install a high performance catalytic converter in order
to get high performance and fuel economy.
