All you Need to Know About Performance Mufflers and their Performance

Performance Mufflers Work Best as a Team Not many know that performance mufflers need to work as a part of a larger system to operate efficiently. Since only the muffler is visible to the eye, many assume that simply changing the muffler, for instance, an Audi 1.8T 5spd Performance Downpipe, of the car will be enough to improve the performance of the car’s exhaust system. It is important to note that a car’s exhaust system will not be able to operate optimally unless you upgrade the entire CAT back system. This system includes the muffler, downpipes, catalytic converters, middle pipes, resonators, etc. You will experience a notable power gain only if you upgrade the entire system comprising of these components. Changing the muffler alone will only yield negligible power gains, as the restrictive exhaust system inside the vehicle would remain congested and tight.

Clamp on Oversized Tailpipes Reduce Efficiency Many car owners are tempted to try oversized tailpipes to give an extra edge to their car’s appearance. However, these ghastly tailpipe covers, as well as extenders, do not stop at enhancing a car’s visual appeal alone. In fact, oversized tailpipes and extenders, which are in sharp contrast to regular fitted mufflers like the Audi 1.8T 6spd Performance Downpipe, can add more weight and resistance to the exhaust system without improving its performance. While pipes give the visual appeal of a larger exhaust, they in fact hide the constricted old pipes, which continue to reduce your car’s performance. So avoid cheap imitations and splurge a little on expensive but authentic exhaust parts.


All you Need to Know About Performance Mufflers and their Performance Performance of the Muffler Depends on the Overall Performance of the Car

Exhaust manufacturers tend to claim that a brand new exhaust system can provide around 10% extra horsepower to a car. However, chances are your car will not experience this gain. This is partly due to the reason that the performance of the muffler depends on the overall condition and performance of the vehicle. For instance, you cannot expect to install a brand new OBD2 Direct Fit Audi TT 225HP Catalytic Converter and then wait for your car to start operating smoothly immediately afterward. Although a noticeable gain is evident, you will be able to enjoy the horsepower gains offered by the new exhaust system only by ensuring that the rest of the car is in perfect condition.
