-----Excerpt from the author: Site Editor Benefits of a Cat-Back Exhaust System Has the performance of your car slumped lately? This issue could be linked to your exhaust system. On that note, it’s prudent to consider acquiring a cat-back exhaust system. A cat-back exhaust system is a modification in the exhaust pipe to improve airflow. The system runs from the tip of the exhaust to the catalytic part of the system.  The cat-back system comprises a pipe connecting the muffler to the catalytic converter, and the exhaust tip. Some manufacturers include other modifications like mid-pipe, X-pipe, H, or Y pipe. So,...

Engineering Explained: Exhaust Systems And How To Increase Performance If you thought that a bigger exhaust system meant bigger power, you'd be mistaken. Here's everything you need to know about exhaust systems and how to increase performance There’s nothing wrong with choosing an exhaust based on the way it sounds or looks, if of course your goal is to make it sound/look better. If your goal is to increase performance, however, it’s a different story. Let’s break this down into four sections : 1.What are the parts of an exhaust? 2.Why should an exhaust be upgraded? 3.Test results from upgrading...

What Is an Exhaust System? A car’s exhaust system is an interconnected assembly of pipes, connectors, sensors, and mechanical devices that is designed to handle and dispose of exhaust fumes that result from the engine’s combustion process. What Does an Exhaust System Do? An exhaust system’s three primary functions are:  *Funnel exhaust gases away from the driver and passengers. *Quiet the noise created by the internal combustion process inside the engine. *"Clean" the exhaust fumes of gases that are harmful to humans and to the environment. Exhaust leaks can be extremely loud and annoying. Anatomy of an Exhaust System Most...

Engine Exhaust System: The engine exhaust system is one of the important vehicle systems as it deals with vehicle emission. The exhaust system collects the exhaust gases from the engine cylinders. It guides them through the central exhaust passage and releases them into the atmosphere with minimum power loss, noise, vibrations, and transfer of heat to the car’s body. Engine exhaust system Design: It consists of an exhaust manifold mounted on the cylinder block or head, catalytic converter, and tailpipe/silencer. The exhaust manifold is a set of pipes that carry exhaust gases from the cylinder head to the silencer. Generally, it is made of cast...
