PartsEngine.ca Exhaust System Guide

Why you need a new Performance Exhaust System for your Truck or Jeep

How does an exhaust system work?

Fuel and air get sucked into your vehicle’s cylinders. The mixture is ignited by a spark plug and the resulting explosion, otherwise known as combustion, creates the required energy to propel your vehicle forward. Like any explosion, the combustion taking place under the hood creates a “cloud” of used gases; gases your exhaust system is responsible for evacuating from your vehicle, allowing the cycle to repeat and thus allowing you to get from point A to point B.

The exhaust gases are pushed from the cylinders by the pistons, and enter the manifold. Here, the waste gases are combined and directed to a single exit pipe. Typically automakers install an exhaust system that sufficiently completes this task, but their primary concern is keeping costs down, and not necessarily maximizing the performance of the vehicle. That’s where aftermarket performance exhaust systems like those developed by MBRP Inc., MagnaFlow, BORLA and aFe come in.

Performance Factor: What a performance exhaust system does for your ride

While a stock truck or SUV exhaust system does expel used gases from your vehicle, they are in no way, shape, or form the most efficient systems on the market. Canadian consumers install aftermarket for several reasons, not least of all to increase the power and torque of the vehicle.

So how does an aftermarket exhaust system improve the performance of your vehicle? It really comes down to efficiency. Performance exhaust systems are simply more efficient (and faster) at removing the waste gases from your vehicle, allowing the combustion process to happen more rapidly—resulting in a higher output of power and torque.

Style factor: Customizing the look and sound of your vehicle with a performance exhaust system

In addition to the obvious performance boost an aftermarket exhaust system provides, there are also visual and auditory benefits associated with the higher end product. Stock exhaust systems are generally fabricated out of low quality metals—whereas aftermarket products feature materials like stainless steel and chrome to give it that “WOW” factor. You can even choose to install a dual exhaust tip (to give your single exit exhaust system the appearance of a dual exhaust setup) or you can dual exhaust system an intimidating quad exit look. The choices are many.

And then there’s the customizable sound afforded by a performance exhaust system. Given the varying sizes, designs and compositions of existing aftermarket exhaust systems; the choice is yours whether you choose to install a system that generates a low rumble or one that will cause the neighbourhood cat to bolt up a tree.
