Common questions

What makes an exhaust system a performance system?

What makes an exhaust system a performance system?

The exhaust pipes are also often smaller in diameter, which further restricts exhaust flow. In contrast, a typical performance system has larger diameter pipes and muffler (s) tuned to reduce backpressure and restriction, which increases exhaust flow and horsepower, and provides a deep exhaust tone that is still within legal limits.

When does an exhaust system disrupt your power curve?

Usually, when an exhaust system disrupts your engine’s power curve, it’s because you’ve made one of the mistakes below. 1. Don’t go too big. A lot of vehicle owners make a mistake when they upgrade their exhaust system by purchasing exhaust pipes that are much larger than the factory set.

What kind of exhaust system does drift xaust have?

Locally designed and manufactured, the Drift Xaust features state-of-the-art volume controlled exhaust system for both turbocharged and naturally aspirated applications.

How are exhaust systems used to reduce noise?

In order to silence the noise of combustion, auto makers use mufflers with baffled chambers and perforated tubes that are tuned to reduce sound to a minimum, which unfortunately creates excessive backpressure and exhaust flow restriction, and reduces power.

How are performance chips used in engine control?

Performance Chips and Engine Control Modules alter the way your on-board computer communicates with your engine’s vital systems. By tweaking ignition timing, gear changes, and other systems, these chips pull extra power out of your vehicle and maximize your engine’s potential.

What happens when you install a tuned exhaust system?

When you install a tuned exhaust system, your car, truck, or SUV feels faster and more responsive. If you install a mish-mash of components, start cutting off various parts without understanding their function, etc., you may feel like you’ve wasted your money on a performance part that didn’t improve performance.
