Get the best performance out of your custom ride with a fully upgraded exhaust system. The exhaust system does more for your vehicle than drawing emissions and fumes away from the engine and keeping the noise down. The size, placement, and amount of bends present in components like downpipes and manifolds can manipulate the speed and density of the air and gasses being expelled through the exhaust system, which can have an impact on the performance of the engine. See how these different components can help your custom vehicle in this features section.
A customized high-performance exhaust manifold is often referred to as an exhaust header. Headers are composed of higher quality materials, and consist typically of individual headpipes for each engine cylinder, which then converge into a single tube. Aftermarket performance is increased with the addition of a custom header, and can offer greater power output and engine efficiency over a standard exhaust manifold . Complete your engine's custom look as well as the complete performance upgrade of your exhaust system with the addition of an aftermarket exhaust header.
Collecting engine exhaust from multiple cylinders, your vehicle's high-performance exhaust manifold delivers the engine exhaust to the exhaust pipe. They are primarily designed to decrease the resistance in the flow, or back pressure, and to provide a higher power output through an increase in volumetric efficiency. Your exhaust manifold forms an important part of your vehicle's overall exhaust system, and is the starting point for the exhaust gases to be directed along through the catalytic converter, the downpipes, and all the way to the muffler.
Catalytic converter serve the purpose of reducing emissions present in your engine's output. Typically, catalytic converter complete three tasks to reduce emissions, where they reduce certain gases and oxidize others into less harmful gases. Keep your custom ride as clean as possible with a high-performance catalytic converter.
Downpipes connect the different components of your vehicle's exhaust system, running from the catalytic converter to the muffler. Different sized pipes have different results, and the more curves they have, the better tendency there is to have back pressure. Downpipes can help your engine's performance by providing the best environment for the exhaust gases, and keeping backpressure low.
mufflers do more than simply quieting the sound of your custom ride's engine. They also serve to reduce backpressure, which is pressure that builds behind the moving air when it has to go through twists and bends. This reduction in back pressure helps increase the performance of the engine, reduces wear and tear, as well as increasing engine output. The resonating chamber of a muffler is able to reduce noise by forcing opposing sound waves to cancel each other out.
Exhaust tips are an important component of your custom exhaust system by providing an outlet for the exhaust gases. But that's not all exhaust tips can do. Complete your high-performance aftermarket look with a set of stylized and polished chrome or steel exhaust tips. Exhaust tips are one of the only components of your exhaust system that are visible without being underneath the vehicle. Exhaust tips bring a subtle flash of style to your already stylish custom vehicle, while being part of an important aspect of your vehicle's performance and exhaust system.
