Benefits of an Exhaust System

The cardinal purpose of an exhaust system is to divert exhaust fumes from the engine and minimise their harm. It is essential to let the toxic fumes out of the system as they can deteriorate the overall well-being and functioning of the engine. A typical exhaust system comprises of five major parts - exhaust manifold, oxygen sensor, catalytic converter, muffler and exhaust pipe. The exhaust manifold collects the exhaust from each cylinder and combines it into one single pipe. The oxygen sensor, which is fixed on top of the exhaust manifold, measures how much oxygen is present in the exhaust and adds or subtracts fuel based on this measurement. The function of the catalytic converter is to convert harmful gases released from the engine into water vapour and carbon dioxide, while the muffler silences the sounds from the gases exiting the exhaust. The exhaust pipe is the passage through which the gases exit the vehicle. Some of the benefits of installing an exhaust system are as below.

1. Better sound – Having a good exhaust system in place ensures that your vehicle produces that deep, rumbling sound.
2. Better mileage – A well-functioning exhaust system ensures that there is better fuel efficiency and hence the vehicle is able to deliver better mileage.
3. Savings – A vehicle that efficiency utilises fuel obviously saves a lot of money and hence a good exhaust system is a good financial investment.

Why Should An Exhaust Be Upgraded?

1. Extra Power - With an aftermarket performance exhaust, there is a better flow than your stock exhaust as it has a larger diameter piping and higher-grade mandrel bent tubing for a more laminar flow. It makes the air flow faster and in turn, increases the high-end power of the car’s engine.
2. Longer life -The upgraded exhaust parts last much longer. Typically, factory exhaust systems are manufactured out of mild steel, whereas the aftermarket systems are made using either aluminised steel or stainless steel, which can last longer. 
3. Better Appearances - Upgrading the exhaust system with chrome components can greatly transform the aesthetic and style quotient of the car.
4.  Better resale value - An exhaust system upgrade can increase the resale value of a classic vehicle by offering all the advantages it brings with itself. A simple change of the exhaust system can better the efficiency of the vehicle, thus increasing its overall value.
