Is your car in need of serious upgrade when it comes to power and mileage? If this is the case then we have the right solution for you. In order to increase the mileage and power of the car, you need to install a new exhaust system as well as a new muffler. In recent years the rising prices of gas has affected all sections of the automobile society. From a Ferrari owner to a Skoda owner, everyone needs to conserve gas due to its astronomical price. Hence most car lovers tend to modify their cars so that they produce class leading mileage without compromising on power and acceleration. Apart from modifying a car in relation with its gas consumption and acceleration, there is a need to increase the car's braking ability too. With increased power generation, the stock brakes do not work as well. Hence it is important to take a look at the brakes as well when you are upgrading the exhaust and muffler system.
Exhaust system
It is a known fact that a well-designed exhaust system not only produces great sound but also reduces the wastage of gas and increases the mileage. Most automobile manufacturers tend to dither in providing their customers with the best possible exhaust system for their cars in order to control the costs. They have to balance all the aspects of car manufacturing such as weight, cost, noise etc hence exhaust system does not rank higher on their priority list. Also they have to abide by the local noise regulations which do not permit an exhaust which makes more noise than prescribed by the law.
The most common exhaust which is also the most popular is known as the 'cat-back' system which comprises of the system from the back end of the catalytic converter till the exhaust tip. Many people also tend to upgrade their catalytic converters in order to maximize the acceleration and power generation.
Muffler tips
Muffler tips are perhaps one of the most underrated parts of an automobile. Their job is to reduce the vibrations produced by the gases which flow through the exhaust system in order to control the noise emitted. Most muffler tips are lined with fiber glass, fiber mat and even wool in order to reduce noise. Muffler tips are designed such that they allow the engine to breathe properly while increasing its life and also the gas consumption of the vehicle. Also a performance oriented muffler emits a different kind of growl which will let everyone know that you are arriving.
Brakes
While upgrading their automobile's performance aspect, many people tend to ignore the most important part of a vehicle i.e. the brakes. What people do not realize is that a stock vehicle comes with stock brakes which are meant to handle the power generated by the vehicle before it undergoes modification. They are not able to handle the increased acceleration and power generation thus they tend to get worn down easily.
