You hear us talk about being the exhaust experts – and we are. But you may not know what exactly performance exhaust is and what it does for your vehicle. Let us help break it down.

  1. What is a Performance Exhaust?
    A performance exhaust is a free flowing exhaust that has a more aggressive sound. A free flowing exhaust will increase horsepower and increases fuel economy. This is accomplished by installing a free flow or larger diameter core muffler and sometimes-larger diameter pipes.
  2. Will I get better gas mileage with a Performance Exhausts?
    Yes, a better performing engine uses fuel more efficiently, if driving conditions and tendencies are similar. However, it is not a guarantee. Diesel exhaust for trucks will see the biggest gains due to our systems’ dropping exhaust gas temperatures over 150 degrees.
  3. How much horsepower can I expect to gain?
    It’s different for every car, but typically expected gains are in the average range of 10%. Replacing the muffler/exhaust with a performance exhaust will help your engine increase power by being able to expel exhaust gases quicker. This creates less workload for the engine, makes it run more efficiently, and results in better power.
  4. Is bigger exhaust better?
    Don’t be fooled! Bigger is not better! Many people think that having the biggest diameter pipe is the best way to make power. Not true. Due to a variety of factors, extensive testing is required. Our recommended systems yield optimum power increases. It is not about getting the biggest pipe, it is about getting a more efficient pipe diameter while maintaining exhaust velocity. There has to be a balanced design to enhance the maximum engine output.
