What is Car Exhaust and How Does it Work?

Your vehicle exhaust is important. It serves the function of funneling gases from the engine out the back of the vehicle. This is essential because it helps the vehicle run effectively, and it helps get the dangerous exhaust gases away from people and passengers in the vehicle and on the road.

Here’s How Your Car Exhaust Works: 

The exhaust system in your vehicle is made up of several different parts that work together. The goal of this system is to funnel unnecessary chemicals out of the engine and out the back of the vehicle. 

The combustion of your engine produces harmful gases as a byproduct of getting your vehicle to run. These gases start in the engine, and the exhaust manifold takes gases from the engine to channel them into the exhaust pipe, which runs the length of your vehicle to get rid of the exhaust. However, there are other parts along the exhaust pipe to help with getting rid of these gases. 

Near the exhaust manifold, you will find an oxygen sensor that measures the amount of oxygen in the exhaust to help ensure maximum fuel economy. Also, along the exhaust pipe, you will find the catalytic converter; this part of your vehicle converts the toxic emissions from your engine into less toxic gases. After the gases go through the catalytic converter, they will go through the muffler. The muffler reduces the noise of the gases leaving your vehicle as it pushes them out of the system. The exhaust leaves through the tailpipe or exhaust tips. Many vehicles now have dual exhaust tips, which means they have two exhaust pipes in their vehicle. 

Now that you know more about how the exhaust system works in your vehicle, you can learn about how a custom exhaust can work even better for you. 

What is Custom Exhaust?

As discussed above, your exhaust system is a vital part of your vehicle and how it runs. However, the exhaust system that comes with your vehicle might not be working as well as it could be for your vehicle. The exhaust that comes with your car or truck works fine, but there is almost definitely room for improvement. Check out a few of the types of custom exhaust below and the advantages of getting a custom exhaust system. 

Types of Custom Exhaust:

• Cat-Back – When someone talks about a cat-back exhaust system, they are referring to a custom exhaust that replaces parts from the catalytic converter all the way back through the rest of the exhaust system. This means you get a new muffler, a new tailpipe, and sometimes a new mid-pipe. 
• Header-Back – The header-back custom exhaust is the biggest change to a current exhaust system. This swaps out your entire exhaust system from the manifold to the tailpipe. When you do a header-back exhaust system, you can get things like custom piping and more. These changes can allow for the biggest performance boost because you are changing more of the system. However, this type of custom exhaust is also your biggest investment. 
• Axle-Back – This custom system replaces everything from the rear axle to the exhaust tip, so it is not as big of a change as the other options. This option also has the least effect on boosting performance because you are changing much less of the overall exhaust system. 

Those are the three main types of custom exhaust systems. A custom exhaust can boost the performance of your vehicle because it is fitted exactly to your vehicle to improve functionality and performance. Learn more about this and other advantages of custom exhaust below. 

Advantages of Custom Exhaust:

• Better Performance – A custom exhaust system can actually add to the horsepower and torque of your vehicle. It does this by allowing the engine to move air more efficiently, which can result in an increase in horsepower. 
• Improved Fuel Efficiency – A custom exhaust can also help improve fuel efficiency. How does it do this? A custom exhaust can improve the overall efficiency of your engine. The more efficient the engine is, the less fuel your vehicle needs to perform at its normal level. That results in fuel savings for your vehicle and gas money savings for you. 
• Better Sound – Car lovers can swoon at the sound of a growling engine and exhaust. A custom exhaust can not only improve the performance of your vehicle, but it can give you the sound of performance. A custom exhaust can magnify some of the lower engine sounds to give your car the growl you are looking for.
