PartsEngine.ca Exhaust System Guide
How to Choose The Best Exhaust System for your Truck or Jeep
Whether you’re looking to add extra torque, power in the form of sound, or customize the look of your vehicle’s back-end, there is no shortage of choices when selecting a new high performance exhaust system for your truck, jeep, SUV or car. Before settling on the brand however, you first need to determine the style of exhaust system that will best serve your needs.
Different Exhaust Styles
The question: Single or dual exhaust system?
The answer: That really depends on what you’re looking for. Each system has their place.
Single Exit Cat-Back Exhausts
Your vehicle comes off the line with a single exit exhaust system — so why replace it with another one? Replacing the stock unit with an aftermarket exhaust system like the MBRP Cat-Back Exhaust System or the MagnaFlow Pro Series Performance Exhaust System is like replacing a firecracker with a stick of dynamite. Aftermarket systems are designed to provide exponential power gains, better fuel economy, and of course, a mean thunderous rumble. They also provide quick and easy installation, and a variety of mounting options (depending on the brand). The benefits in choosing a single exit over a dual exit system:
- Lower cost to increase power output, sound and visual appeal
- Lightweight compared to the beefier dual exit mounts
Dual Exit Cat-Back Exhausts
The main purpose of any exhaust system — whether it’s single or dual exit — is the evacuation of gases. To that end, the principal benefit to choosing a dual exhaust system for your truck over a single exit system is the increased flow of evacuation without having a diminishing effect on ground clearance. In addition to adding a more muscular look, dual exit systems like the BORLA Cat-Back Rear Section Header Exhaust Systems provide a serious power and torque increase, not to mention the window shaking growl.
Whether you choose single or dual exit exhaust, make sure it’s a performance exhaust system crafted by a trusted name like Borla, AFE, MagnaFlow or MBRP.
What To Consider
Do you want a performance exhaust system to enhance the output of your ride? Are you looking to add an awesome look, or interested in injecting a little testosterone into the sound your vehicle makes?
Make sure you consider your vehicle — each performance system is designed to meet a particular use — so make sure it’s the right one for your ride.
If sound production is at the top of your list of features, know that the sound exhaust systems make range from a low rumble to a skull numbing reverberation.
Adding a chrome exhaust tip can greatly improve the look of your vehicle’s back end. We spend so much time improving other areas of our vehicles; it’s easy to forget to add a little eye candy for the poor guy eating our dust.
Whether you’re buying for just one of those reasons or all of them, adding a performance exhaust system is one of the few accessories you can add that incorporates style, function and performance.
