The exhaust system is an important part of your car and has a significant impact on how well it runs as well as the quality of its emissions. Having a mechanic maintain your vehicle will do a lot to improve your vehicle’s performance, but that’s not all you can do. Installing a custom exhaust system can dramatically change how your vehicle performs. At Erick’s Custom Exhaust & Auto Repair, we want all of our customers to have the best driving experience possible. Upgrading to a custom exhaust system is one method we have to make that happen.
Let’s take a look at some of the improvements a custom exhaust system from an expert mechanic will make to the performance of your vehicle.
Increased Fuel Efficiency
The design of an exhaust system contributes to exhaust backpressure. Higher backpressure means that your car has to work harder to expel the exhaust. A custom exhaust system can alter the design to reduce backpressure, which will increase horsepower without using more fuel.
Custom exhaust systems are also often made with lighter materials than factory designs. These lighter, high-performance materials reduce the overall weight of your vehicle. Less weight means less inertia, which means less fuel to make your car move.
Heat Management
Engines and exhaust fumes are very hot, and that heat can affect nearby components over time. Custom exhaust builds can include heat shields or insulation to better control the heat that comes off the exhaust system. The shields or insulation will protect the nearby components and can make the interior temperature of your vehicle more comfortable.
Custom Sound and Look
For many people who decide to install a custom exhaust system, the sound a look are important considerations. With a custom system, you can work with your mechanic to set the sound of your exhaust to the tone, volume, and character that you want. You can also choose the tips, finishes, and shapes of the visible part of your exhaust system to match your car and personal style.
