Which exhaust system works for your vehicle
A high-quality exhaust system such as one from MagnaFlow can free some power in your engine. It can also create an efficient path for the exhaust gas to escape, making your engine breathe better. This creates more power when more air and fuel are burnt out.
When buying the exhaust system, choose a system design with stainless steel or aluminized steel for maximum durability. Another thing to check is the diameter of the pipe, especially if you’re using performance parts. Keep in mind that extra-large pipes can affect your car’s performance.
Types of exhaust systems & the sound they produce
There are many types of exhaust systems available in the market. Let’s take a look at these systems and the sound they produce.
- Single exit pipe– Its the most common type of exhaust pipe as it cost-effective. The pipe also removes exhaust gas from your vehicle’s engine perfectly and has a subdued sound. Single exit system is perfect for truck owners who don’t like loud noises.
- Dual rear exit – This system has two pipes located at the back of the car on both sides. The type of sound produced depends on the diameter of the pipes. If you love a deeper sound, go for pipes with a smaller diameter.
- Opposite dual exhaust – With this system, the exit pipes are located near the bumper rear. This makes them invisible, which is why most peopel like them. This type of exhaust can make your truck sound more aggressive because they emit a very deep sound.
- Dual side exhaust – This exhaust system is found on vehicles that tow heavy items as the design makes it beneficial for this task. With other systems, the exhaust gas is likely to be directed towards the towed object. However, with the dual side exhaust, the gas will be directed away from the object. The exhaust sound is similar to that of the dual rear exit system.
- High-performance exhaust – High-performance systems such as those from MagnaFlow are available as an aftermarket upgrade. Although they are expensive, a lot of people like them because they enhance the engine’s performance. They also improve their efficiency and provide a unique sound.
Parts of an exhaust system
The exhaust system plays a crucial role in keeping your car’s occupants safe. There’s the risk of dangerous fumes penetrating inside your car when the exhaust system isn’t functioning properly. Exposure to these fumes can cause dangerous symptoms such as headache, shortness of breath, and even death.
- Exhaust manifold – The exhaust manifold collects gas from the cylinder head and sends it to a single exhaust pipe. Its size varies depending on the make and model. For instance, some makes and models have an exhaust designed with multiple pipes tied together while in other models, the manifold features a one-piece cast iron design with several channels or built-in ports.
- Catalytic converter – This device ensures the number of dangerous gases and pollutants are at a minimal level. When the catalytic converter goes bad, just replace it instead of removing the old unit. If you fail to replace it, your entire system can be considered illegal.
- Muffler – Mufflers connect to the exhaust system directly and decrease and reroute sound. They have different components including a backbox and one or multiple tailpipes. Modern mufflers allow the sound waves to cancel out each other thus reflecting the waves that are formed by the truck’s engine.
- Resonator – A resonator has a cylinder tube design that reduces noise. Unlike mufflers, resonators can only reroute a small amount of fumes, which can create issues when passing an emmissions test. However, resonators free up horsepower without burning excesive amounts of fuel hence minimizing backpressure.

Why you should upgrade your exhaust system
Most manufacturers include a standard exhaust system that can only serve your vehicle’s basic functions. Here are reasons why you should upgrade your system. A new exhaust system:
Improves your vehicle’s value and image
A new exhaust system means less expensive and fewer repairs as it is built with robust stainless steel for longevity. Even if any part needs replacement, the task will be cheaper and quicker. This convenience boosts the value of your car to potential future buyers.
A new system can also make your truck sound and look better. Consider the difference between a high-performance exhaust system and an older one. The former is a car that proclaims to the passers-by a taste of power and luxury plus a unique style.
Improves your carbon footprint
Older systems are less fuel-efficient plus the chemicals in such systems contribute to atmospheric gases that cause climate change. Replacing your older exhaust with a new fuel-efficient one helps save the planet.
While some people are not incentivized by environmental benefits, a fuel-efficient system will save you thousands of dollars at the pump.
The longer your gas lasts, the easier it will be on your wallet whether you are driving on the highway or towing weight. Although a new system may seem like a huge investment, it will pay for itself in gas savings over time.
Improves your engine’s function
Just like people function better when they are breathing well, truck engines also do the same when their systems are functioning properly. A quality exhaust system is crucial to your engine’s function as it enables it to function better.
The system also allows the engine to breathe effortlessly thus improving its performance. When air moves in and out of the engine easily, more of your engine’s power can be channeled to other functions.
Likewise, an old exhaust is a major cost to your truck’s overall performance because the engine works harder to push air in and out of all the chambers.
How to make your exhaust system louder
MagnaFlow offers numerous products you can use to make your vehicle sound louder than normal. Let’s take a look at some of those products.
Cat-backs
People that want more bass from their ride can opt for these high-performance systems as they replace everything from the tips to the catalytic converters. Cat-backs remove certain restrictions and also increase the diameter of the exhaust, resulting in enhanced performance and sound.
However, cat-backs are designed for certain models. Note that some models offer fewer cat-back systems while others offer a variety. Some even eliminate the resonators, making the exhaust louder.
Headers
A set of quality headers can eliminate noise insulation and speed up the exhaust flow. However, the size of the collectors and tubes of the headers matter because they help increase the sound.
For example, long tubes cost more but offer higher power while short tubes offer lower power. However, they increase performance and produce a good sound.
Remove the muffler
You can also remove the muffler to improve the sound. However, it’s not advisable to commute in a car that lacks a muffler system. It’s even illegal in most/all areas of the country. Going against or disregarding such regulations can result in hundreds of dollars worth of fines.
