A cat back exhaust is a part of the exhaust system located after the catalytic converter. It includes the pipe connecting to the muffler and tailpipe. A cat back exhaust improves airflow, reducing the load on the engine and increasing fuel efficiency and economy. It can also result in a different tone and louder sound…
Exhaust affects performance by allowing the engine to “breathe” better, resulting in increased power and horsepower. A properly functioning exhaust system is crucial for optimal vehicle performance, as a faulty or damaged system can limit speed, power, fuel efficiency, and even cause serious mechanical issues if left untreated. Upgrading the exhaust system improves airflow, allowing…
A Flowmaster Exhaust is a type of muffler that categorizes sound levels into aggressive, moderate, and mild. The aggressive mufflers produce a louder exterior sound with noticeable sound and vibration inside the vehicle. Flowmaster offers different exhaust systems like axle-back, cat-back, and header-back for various driving preferences, including drag racing, sports car racing, and off-road…
A resonator exhaust tip is a type of exhaust tip that produces a louder and more reverberating sound compared to a regular exhaust tip. It is commonly used in import tuner cars to achieve a distinct high-frequency noise. If you’re looking for a louder and more aggressive exhaust sound, a resonator exhaust tip may be…
An active exhaust is a system that regulates the noise output of a vehicle’s exhaust by controlling the opening and closing of valves. The valves are closed during idle and light throttle situations to minimize sound levels and reduce drone noise during highway driving. The active exhaust system offers multiple modes and volumes, allowing cars…
An exhaust brake works by using a butterfly valve in the exhaust system to create back pressure and slow down the vehicle, acting as a braking mechanism. This can potentially cause engine damage if not properly adjusted. Basics Of Exhaust Brake An exhaust brake is a butterfly valve in the exhaust that creates back pressure…
An exhaust brake is a device used to slow down a diesel engine by closing off the exhaust path, compressing the exhaust gases, and reducing the vehicle’s speed. It is commonly used in trucks and diesel-powered vehicles to prevent the vehicle from going downhill too fast and reduce the risk of accidents. Unlike a Jake…
An exhaust brake is a device used to slow down a diesel engine by closing off the exhaust path, causing the exhaust gases to be compressed and slowing down the vehicle. It is commonly used in trucks and diesel engines to prevent accidents and control the speed while going downhill with a heavy load, such…
Active Valve Performance Exhaust is a type of exhaust system that uses valves to control the output of exhaust noise. These valves are closed to reduce sound levels during idling and light throttle situations, helping to minimize drone during highway driving. It is commonly found in vehicles like the Ford Mustang GT and can be…
A downpipe exhaust is a section of tubing that directs exhaust gases from a vehicle’s turbine housing into the exhaust system. It helps move the exhaust gases through the system efficiently and usually contains a restrictive catalytic converter. Upgrading to a larger, catless downpipe can increase horsepower and torque on turbocharged vehicles, improving the overall…
