Cat-Back Exhaust Boosts Power?

If you want to increase the power of your car, one of the best ways is to modify the exhaust system. In particular, a cat-back exhaust system is a great way to improve your car overall. A cat-back exhaust system will not only improve performance but also improve aesthetics. But we will talk about all this and much more in this article.

As automotive experts and true car enthusiasts, the Performance Muffler team has carried out many vehicle modifications. Specializing in exhaust repair and replacement, catalytic converters and closed loop exhaust systems, we are your authority on vehicle related matters.

What is a Cat-Back Exhaust System?   

To understand how a cat-back exhaust system really increases power, let's first look at what exactly a cat-back exhaust system is. The closed-loop exhaust system includes an exhaust pipe upgrade and replacement of the factory-installed middle pipe, muffler, and tailpipe. Everything behind the catalytic converter has been redone with Cat-Back. Because of this, emissions do not change, but the process of smoke removal changes.

How engine power improves

A cat-back exhaust system increases power because it enhances the car's performance. Your car doesn't have to work so hard and the air flow is increased. With larger exhaust pipes and a more efficient middle pipe, muffler and tailpipe, you will reduce your vehicle's weight, exhaust noise and fuel consumption. Thus, the performance of the car is much better.

Often in a standard factory model car, air movement is limited. As a result, your engine has to work harder to get the exhaust gases out. And the biggest goal of a stock muffler is to reduce sound, not airflow efficiency. For this reason, many gearboxes pay attention to the removal of the muffler. However, this element in a cat-back exhaust system will vary depending on the recommendation of your mechanic and the make and model of your vehicle.

Other Benefits of the Cat-Back Exhaust System

In addition to more power, there are other benefits to a cat-back exhaust system. The most popular ones include a unique sound, better fuel economy and attractive looks.

The car straight from the factory obviously has no distinctive or roaring sound. This is where car modifications come into play so you can get the sound of a racing car. This effect can be obtained by adding a cat-back exhaust pipe or by specially modifying the muffler.

As mentioned, your machine will perform better. You will soon notice better gas mileage with your exhaust system. And the impact of this couldn't be more significant as gas prices continue to rise.

Finally, and what people might forget is that modifying your exhaust system can make your car look better. In particular, you can change the tailpipes, the most visible element of the exhaust system. And you can change whether your car has dual or single exhaust system. Many people agree that dual exhaust gives a more symmetrical and attractive look.
