How much horsepower does a Borla Cat Back exhaust add?
How much horsepower does a Borla Cat Back exhaust add?
Borla exhaust systems are designed to have the optimal diameters and low restriction flow that promote scavenging. The Borla R&D team performs dynamometer testing on new parts to ensure power gains. We frequently see gains in the 8 to 12 horsepower range, sometimes much higher.
Does cat back exhaust increase performance?
An Increased Horsepower The cat-back exhaust system provides a vital boost to ensure the vehicle produces maximum horsepower and torque. The cat-back system has a larger diameter than a standard muffler; the wide opening creates more space for the free flow of air.
What is a cat back exhaust system?
Cat-back exhaust refers to any part of the exhaust system that’s behind the catalytic converter. Typically, this includes the pipe connecting the pipe from the catalytic converter to the muffler, the muffler, and the tailpipe or exhaust tips.
What is a cap back exhaust?
The Borla “Cat Back™” name implies the exhaust system is located behind the factory catalytic converter where there factory emissions remain untouched and vehicle stays emissions compliant. This remains distinct from the Axle Back exhaust system that is located behind the rear axle.
What do you need to know about exhaust mufflers?
The most important thing to understand with mufflers is that we are dealing with two different things: – The exhaust gases are physically flowing through the exhaust. The muffler should restrict these gases as little as possible so that they move quickly out of the tailpipe. – Sound waves are traveling through the gas inside the exhaust.
What is the difference between a muffler and a silencer?
In British English we use the word silencer for a muffler – it’s exactly the same thing. What does a muffler do? The muffler reduces and adjusts the noise of the exhaust system. Mufflers are the final piece of the exhaust system, just before the tail pipe.
Which is better an exhaust system upgrade or a new exhaust system?
Nothing says aggressive and unrelenting performance better than an exhaust system upgrade. A top-level exhaust upgrade brings forth massive horsepower and torque gains that are coupled with a superior exhaust tone.
How does an exhaust muffler reduce the loudness of sound?
The muffler reduces the amplitude (loudness) of sound waves in two ways. Absorption : some of the exhaust gas enters a soft material, typically fibre-glass, where the energy of sound waves is absorbed and their strength reduced. Reflection : Sound waves can be bounced off surfaces and reflected into each other.
