There are exhaust systems and then there are exhaust systems.



Your vehicle's exhaust system does everything that it needs to



do to keep your car performing properly as well as to protect



the environment safe from harmful pollutants. When it is working



properly, that is. Not every owner is satisfied with stock



exhaust systems, particularly the hobbyist or recreationalist



who uses his or her vehicle for leisurely pursuits. If you are a



hobbyist and you want a system that performs well beyond what a



stock exhaust system has to offer, then please read on for some



important information.







So, what is your sound preference? Say, what?! Yes, one of the



attributes of a high quality performance exhaust system is



finding one that brings out the sound that you want it to make.



Generally, there are three types of exhaust systems sounds you



can choose from. Gibson Exhaust, a popular manufacturer of



performance exhaust systems breaks it down as follows:







High: Produces a sound of high volume and intensity.



Expect resonance with the cab.







Moderate: "Big Block" powerful exhaust tone with minimal



resonance inside of the cab.







Low: Produces a mellow tone while it maintains a stock



sound within the cabin.







Are you not sure which type of system that you want? Then,



simply stop by the Gibson Exhaust site for sample sounds of the



exhaust system for your truck or SUV.







Beyond sound, there are several other characteristics of any



performance exhaust system that should be noted. They include:







More power. Stock mufflers can restrict engine power by



as much as one third. With a properly specified and fitted



performance muffler in place, air flow restriction can be



reduced significantly. The result will be borne out every time



you pull something or when you climb a hill as torque is freed



up to bring out additional power.







Improved fuel economy. An efficiently working engine



burns less fuel. With a performance exhaust system in place,



your engine has a friend and not a foe that works in conjunction



with the engine to achieve higher fuel mileage.







Longer lasting. What good is paying extra money for a



performance exhaust system if it doesn't last longer? Made from



aircraft quality stainless steel, your performance exhaust



system can easily outlast the life of your vehicle. Depending on



the manufacturer you choose, warranties as long as one million



miles can assure that the exhaust system you place on your



vehicle not only avoids corrosion but is also the last one it



will ever need.







Certainly, performance exhaust systems can cost a lot more than



stock systems. For the hobbyist who enjoys the throatier sound,



stronger torque, and improved fuel economy, a performance



exhaust system makes perfect sense.
