Upgrade Your Exhaust

After the engine goes through the intake, compression, and ignition cycles, it now has hot gases it needs to expel in order to continue the cycle. The exhaust valve opens and the piston comes up, forcing the air out of the engine and into the exhaust system.

These gasses are extremely hot as they are the byproduct of an explosion and they come through the exhaust system in rapid pulses. The purpose of the exhaust system is to route these potentially harmful gasses away from the cab of the vehicle and to the rear or sides.

Depending on the size of your engine and how much power you are making, the optimal diameter of the piping will vary. The whole idea with a larger diameter is increasing the flow. With increased flow, the piston has to do less work when pushing the exhaust gases out of the cylinder which ultimately leads to more power.

A good exhaust system will increase flow, possibly increase velocity, optimize exhaust scavenging, and use heat to its advantage. The whole idea is to simply make it easier for the piston to push the exhaust gases out of the cylinder.

If it’s hard to push the gases out of the cylinder, that will essentially resist the rotation of the crankshaft. If it’s easy to push the gasses out of the cylinder, there will still be resistant to the rotation of the engine, but with less resistance comes more power.

If you want to make more sound and increase your car's power output, you need an aftermarket exhaust!
