Benefits of a Custom Exhaust System

If you love your ride, then you don't want it to look like every other make and model on the road. You want something better and something personal for you. Luckily, most automakers use affordable and standardized parts to mass-produce cars, giving individual drivers plenty of room to customize their car. And one of the most eye-catching upgrades for any car is a dedicated exhaust system.

Upgrading an exhaust system is easier than many people think. Plus, you can do as many as you like. From exhaust tips, cat-back modifications, or full blown rebuilds, you can transform your car to your liking. We at Performance Muffler have been proud to be the premier exhaust pipe shop in Phoenix since 2007. So, in this article, we will explain 4 benefits of a custom exhaust system. 

Increased power    

Unsurprisingly, one of the main reasons someone wants to modify their exhaust system is to increase power. This can happen in a number of ways, but two common options include a closed loop exhaust system and a high flow catalytic converter. Factory exhaust systems are often supplied with small diameter pipes, which slow down the speed of the exhaust gases. So, when you (or your mechanic) are working on an exhaust system upgrade, any increase in diameter makes a big difference. Power will be released in your engine which will boost your torque and power. 

Better fuel economy  

You might assume that more power goes hand in hand with better fuel economy, but it can have the opposite effect. As the engine burns more fuel to keep up with power output, fuel economy may decrease. That's why it's so important to trust the professionals and find a good balance between performance and fuel economy. Changes to the muffler, downpipe and exhaust manifold directly affect the performance of your vehicle. This is where a complete exhaust system replacement, instead of small upgrades, makes the difference. After all, with the right setup, you can cut fuel costs and recoup your investment. 

Sound 

Every gearbox wants his car to roar like a racing car; it's a key feature to personalize your car and set it apart from everything else on the road. A favorite for improving your car's noise is an exhaust pipe cutout. Exhaust cutouts allow riders to bypass the muffler to temporarily function as an exhaust pipe. You get the roar you want when you want and then you can easily switch to a regular exhaust structure. Also, you can remove the muffler or change the exhaust tips. 

Improved appearance and quality 

The misconception about upgrading an exhaust system is that it doesn't contribute to the overall aesthetics of the car. But this couldn't be further from the truth. The exhaust pipes behind the catalytic converter are visible in certain situations and play an important role in the appearance of your car. Even the addition of a dual exhaust can be considered an aesthetic improvement. Also, going beyond the manufacturer's standard parts. These common parts can wear out faster than the high quality parts that come with a custom exhaust system.
