Exhaust systems

An exhaust system typically replaces the mufflers and piping rearward of your vehicle’s catalytic converter.  Exhaust systems are a popular upgrade because they convey a lot of benefits for a modest cost.  Performance exhaust systems have a more attractive look, a deeper tone, and a freer flowing design than the stock components on your vehicle.  Gaining looks, sound, and performance in one package makes exhaust upgrades a popular choice amongst enthusiasts.

The best exhaust for your vehicle will be a reflection of your performance goals and your purpose for the vehicle.  Exhaust systems are generally offered in single or dual outlet configurations.  Single outlet exhausts are usually lighter weight than dual outlet variants and are capable of producing more power on most engines.  Dual outlet exhausts are typically quieter than single outlet variants and the look of a dual tip is often considered more aesthetically pleasing on street vehicles.  Popular piping diameters are 2.5”, 3.0”, 3.5”, 4.0”, 60mm, 70mm, and 80mm.  The best diameter for your vehicle will depend on the power output of your engine and whether your vehicle is naturally aspirated or forced induction. Some other things to consider when purchasing a performance exhaust are: How much noise can you handle?  Are power gains your ultimate goal?  Do you have strict emissions or noise regulations in your state?  Is this your daily driver, track car, or perhaps both?  What modifications do you have planned or completed to your engine?

With answers to these questions in mind, we can certainly help determine the best choice for your needs.
