Magnaflow High Flow Cat

There is nothing like the roar of a V8 engine. Even at idle, V8 engine have a special quality that seems to have adrenaline flowing in our veins, we do fantasize about smoke shows and passable roads. While most of its V8 with a decent stock exhaust, one of the most gratifying changes in terms of power and pleasure you can do for your muscle car is to add an exhaust Spare system.

Part of making more power on an engine is going to exhaust as soon as possible so that fresh air can come in. Tuning an exhaust system to increase the flow of gas can really help maximize the performance of a V8 engine. The first thing to consider is the diameter of the pipe. 2.5 inches is the absolute minimum for most V8, while 3 inches is probably sufficient for all but the most extreme engines. Then, true dual exhaust system gives each exhaust manifold its own direct pipe silent individual. An X-pipe, a pipe crossing as an X, can help balance the pressure between the two parts of an exhaust system, and reduce any irritating drone that sometimes occurs in high-flow exhaust systems at highway speeds.

Now that you've got the basics installed, it is time to take care of the details. If possible, you should make the effort to replace the stock exhaust manifolds with headers. Headers are special varieties with a better design when it comes to eliminating the exhaust of the engine. They can add the power of the engine by making it more efficient.

Then you will want to consider the catalytic converters. Now, if your vehicle does not come with them because most did not in 1960, then you have nothing to fear. If you did, and you make over 400 horsepower with your current setup, you can consider upgrading to broadband cats. These will reduce the restriction that the catalytic converters to introduce into the exhaust system.

Finally, the choice of the silencer is largely based on your personal preferences in terms of sound, and least restriction when it comes to power. There are a number of different types of silencers there. Some, like the style of a cherry bomb muffler, use a straight through design-packed with fiberglass that is designed to absorb some of the noise that the exhaust gases pass through. Outside of straight pipes, it is the strongest silencer, you can buy. Others use several rooms combined with insulation to slow the exhaust down and reduce the volume of the system. This type of muffler is more restrictive, but it gives you a wider choice of tone, hoarse and wild gurgling and powerful.

There are several companies choose to follow when it comes to noise performance, and some of the biggest names are Magnaflow, Borla, and Flowmaster. Many of these companies have sound clips on their websites where you can check how their various products would sound on your vehicle. Whatever system you choose, make sure you have it installed by a muffler shop that you trust to ensure your system will last as long as you own your car.
