Exhaust systems and how to improve performance

The exhaust system works through a series of components that collect exhaust gases coming from the engine's cylinders. The exhaust system then removes harmful substances while reducing noise levels. Exhaust systems also release gases away from your vehicle and also reduce carbon emissions. 

One common misconception is that the larger the exhaust system, the more power it will produce. On the contrary, exhaust systems improve power by adding torque, resulting in more power for your car. 

At Performance Muffler, we've worked with just about every type of exhaust system you can imagine. In this article, we'll take a look at how to improve the performance of your exhaust system and what that means for your car.

Improving the performance of your exhaust system

Unfortunately, most automotive exhaust system components are not always equipped with the best parts. As a result, vehicle owners who want to get the best possible performance from their vehicle typically choose to upgrade the three main components of their exhaust system. The most commonly upgraded parts are the muffler, downpipe and exhaust manifold. Now let's see what these parts are.

Muffler

Silencers are usually retrofitted as part of a feedback system. This type of system includes all parts of the exhaust system from the catalytic converter to the end pipe. One of the main reasons you'll want to replace your muffler is to prevent it from being damaged by rust and corrosion. In addition, your new muffler, as part of an upgrade, can greatly improve your vehicle's performance.

Ensuring better flow is the key to all exhaust system upgrades. The faster your exhaust exits your vehicle, the more efficient your engine will be. Generally, factory downspouts work fine, but they tend to be narrow diameter. Higher quality downspouts tend to be straighter and wider. With these design features, your exhaust will exit your car efficiently.

Exhaust manifold

The exhaust manifold is also referred to as the "manifold". The manifold consists of the first section of the exhaust system. The exhaust manifold attaches directly to the cylinder heads, which causes the exhaust gases to exit your engine into a downpipe. The simplest type of manifold is known as a log type exhaust manifold. Another form of manifold is the aftermarket exhaust manifold. The aftermarket exhaust manifold has pipes that run through the downpipe, allowing the system-enhanced exhaust flow to flow through the system.
