Purr Like a Kitten Or Roar Like a Lion – Performance Mufflers and Exhaust
Posted by admin in Auto Muffler on March 16, 2011
Your exhaust system contains some of the most vital components when it comes to achieving maximum performance. Composed of tubing that expels exhaust gases away from the engine, the exhaust system and its various components -mufflers, headers and catalytic converters – streamline the performance of your vehicle by increasing horsepower, gas mileage and overall efficiency.
In stark contrast to the lackluster output provided by stock components, a performance exhaust system features parts that are specifically designed to achieve varying levels of added performance, enabling you to purr like a kitten or roar like a lion if you so choose. Performance parts, like Edelbrock headers and parts produced by Magnaflow, are engineered to maximize your engine’s exhaust flow by providing a smoother conduit for spent gases to escape, allowing the engine to breathe easier. In fact, just by upgrading the various components of your exhaust system, you’ll notice an immediate increase in horsepower and torque, enjoy a boost in power of up to 10 percent, and see your fuel efficiency jump by up to 2 mpg-assuming you don’t develop a lead foot after installing your exhaust.

Can You Extend the Life and Mileage of Your Car’s Exhaust and Muffler System?
Posted by admin in Auto Muffler on March 16, 2011
Most auto owners do not give the exhaust system of their vehicle one minute though. That is until they hear a loud boom, exhaust hissing or rattling noises coming quite scarily from the rear of their car or truck. On top of that there are health and safety concerns from exhaust gasses. You can almost bet by the time they get to that point that they are going to be recipients of a large muffler or exhaust system repair bill. Is their any way that most motorists can extend the life and driving span of their exhaust and muffler system or systems?
Basically put your car or truck’s exhaust system includes the exhaust manifold, muffler, connecting pipes and in some cases a resonator. Any automobile made in the last 30 years will definitely have a catalytic converter you can bet. Single exhaust setups use an exhaust manifold of a single exhaust pipe, muffler assembly and tail pipe that extends under of just short of the rear bumper whereas on a dual exhaust system arrangement two exhaust pipes and a muffler assembly are used together with two resonators, two tail pipes. Each assembly is connected to it s own exhaust manifold and carries the exhaust gasses to the rear of the vehicle.

It is also a part of the vehicle where a small fault can cause very highly notable effects; as the affected vehicle ends up being ‘too noisy’ and something of a nuisance. In the best case scenario, such a vehicle could cause other road users (and bystanders) to start sending unkind stares and glares your way. In the worst case scenario, such a vehicle with a faulty muffler could get you arrested and charged, if you happen to live in one the cities with strict sound pollution laws.
It is out of all this, then, that muffler auto repair becomes a major necessity; to such an extent that garages specializing in it (and termed as muffler repair centers) have been coming up in recent days. One of the services that these muffler repair centers tend to offer is muffler modification, so that people who fancy it can have their car sound like a racing car.
