Benefits of Aftermarket Exhaust Systems and the Parts They Include
You’ve probably heard the term aftermarket exhaust being thrown around, but you might not know what it is that makes aftermarket exhausts so discussed among gear-heads. Well, it’s quite simple – aftermarket exhaust outperform stock exhausts in every way possible. The reason being stock exhaust systems are designed with cost in mind and their main purpose is to muffle the sound of your vehicle as much as possible, which also results in restricting the flow of exhaust gases that come in and out of your engine. This is known as back-pressure. Although most engines need back-pressure to function properly, too much of it will rob you of some sweet horsepower.
