New Exhaust System
You’ve really been considering adding more power and torque to your ride with a new performance exhaust system. But, you know that before you make any big decision, it’s important to consider the pros and cons. And, that’s why you’re here. You want to know just what exactly the pros & cons of a new exhaust system are before you rush out and spend your hard earned cash.
The Pros of a New Exhaust System
Let’s start with the benefits of a performance exhaust system. A performance exhaust frees up some of the power in your engine, allowing for a quicker, more efficient path for exhaust gases to escape. This allows your engine to breathe better, and therefore create more power. Another major benefit is the more aggressive exhaust note. Magnaflow and Flowmaster exhaust systems are known for delivering a deep, aggressive rumble that’s typically only found on high-end sports cars.
When you purchase a complete exhaust system, like the Gibson exhaust system or Corsa exhaust system, you get the total package—everything you need for the biggest power increases possible. This includes mufflers, exhaust headers and more. Or, you can choose to replace your catalytic converter straight off to get more power without spending a ton of money up front.
The Cons of a New Exhaust System
That brings us to the cons of purchasing a performance exhaust system. One of the biggest drawbacks of any large purchase is the price tag that accompanies it. But, considering the huge power and style boosts that a performance exhaust delivers, most people agree that it’s money well spent.
Another con may be the time it takes to install a performance exhaust. But, while this may be a challenging task for some, many people find that, with the easy-to-follow instructions that accommodate the new exhaust, they’re able to complete the installation themselves right in their own driveway. That means no extra costs to have a mechanic complete the installation.
Deciding on the Best Performance Exhaust System for You
