What Should You Know Before Purchasing an Exhaust System? Greetings!
Many car owners overlook what is going on underneath their vehicles. While the engine is the heart of any car, it is also the most important part. However, the exhaust system will make a huge difference in how the vehicle performs in terms of both power and mileage. There are many things you need to take into consideration when buying any aftermarket exhaust system. These factors include compatibility with your vehicle, the material of the exhaust system, the diameter and type of exhaust pipes, and whether or not the system includes all accessories such as a Flange Plate, an air filter, etc. Budget is another important consideration. Here are something you should consider before buying an exhaust system. Types Of Exhaust System There are three types of aftermarket exhaust systems. Each is classified according to how much of your existing exhaust system it replaces. There are three types of aftermarket exhaust systems: header-back, cat-back, and axle-back (and the third is axle-back).
Header-back exhaust systems, which replace everything except the tip and header, offer the best performance and mileage. Because they include more parts and accessories, such as a flange plate or manifolds, header-back exhaust systems are typically the most costly of all three.
