Choosing an exhaust type mainly depends on your budget. Each exhaust system is great. An aftermarket exhaust has a wider piping. This provides better airflow — allowing the exhaust gases to easily escape from the combustion chamber which then provide more room for fresh air to enter. More air equals bigger combustion — which means more power delivered to your wheels! This depends on the driver and also the type of aftermarket exhaust you install.
However, do expect a sound difference after you install an aftermarket exhaust. Some people dislike it, while others absolutely love it. I personally love the sound an aftermarket exhaust provides. They tend to growl louder — giving you that sporty feel. Be sure to check out the before and after sound of the aftermarket exhaust before purchasing it!
Search for it on YouTube — type in the exhaust brand and also your car model. Just kidding — but not really! Aftermarket exhaust is usually made of better materials than the stock exhaust. Stainless steel and aluminized steel being the most common. An aftermarket exhaust can be expensive — depending on the type you purchase. If all you look for is an improved engine sound, then install a cold air intake instead.
Aftermarket exhaust is a big piece of equipment that could be expensive to purchase and install. The sound changes from an aftermarket exhaust can be a pro or a con — this depends on you.
I personally love the sound. Just ensure that you are not purchasing a straight pipe exhaust. The sound coming from a straight pipe exhaust can be deafening and straight up illegal. If you are wondering why people install this, check out this article where I discuss straight pipe exhaust. Honestly, an aftermarket exhaust will not provide THAT much horsepower. The stock exhaust system is already pretty decent in ensuring performance and comfort. An aftermarket exhaust will only provide significant horsepower if the stock exhaust is very restrictive.
This might be the case on some cars — but not most of them. Read the forums and find out what people are experiencing after they install an aftermarket exhaust on their cars. It is important to research specifically on your car model — different cars have different impacts.
An aftermarket exhaust will not provide you with a significant performance gain. The sound difference it provides is significant — they sound much more powerful.
If you just want the sound improvement, then I suggest you take a look at cold air intake instead. They are cheap and much easier to install. The sound improvement they provide is also significant. Check out this article where I discuss cold air intake. Passionate about everything mechanical.

And consider giving fellow S owner autotempest a follow for making this series possible! As with cold-air intakes and headers, the goal of a performance exhaust is to de-restrict airflow and increase engine output, Vivid Racing explains.
Air moves into and out of the combustion chamber when the intake and exhaust valves open and close. This reduces available oxygen and decreases horsepower. Now the combustion chamber has more oxygen, which means the engine makes more power. As I get older my hair turns grey. As the titanium exhaust on my S gets older, it turns blue. How neat is that? Both Donut Media and Engineering Explained have fit performance exhausts to their vehicles.
Specifically, to their naturally-aspirated vehicles. And the results, like Donut Media experienced with the cold-air intake and aftermarket headers , were relatively minor. Is that true?? Your explanation will be highly appreciated. About the cool air intake and new exhaust does it also help with horse power if you keep the motor cool any way possible extra fan I have a 01 f 5. Ok so hi guys I just bought a Corolla s 1. Now Its a good reliable car.
And I wanna do that without stressing the engine. Any suggestions.?? To how how much hp I can gain with that?? Will it affect my engine too much?? It only comes with hp. Which is not enough lol. Plz suggest and advise on what should I do. Girish — I would suggest that you do not buy G-Force chips. They do not add any power — all they do is mess with the fuel maps. Not a ton, but definitely not bad. Just find a quality tuner and you can pick up another hp. I have a yukon.
All of it is from Flowmaster. How much of an increase will I see? Will not be doing an intake, next step is a supercharger which is why I got the full exhaust. But the supercharger will require getting a new trans. I have a mustang v6. What horsepower increase should I expect. Jason you seem knowledgeable I rarely write on these blogs but I have a f 5.
Help me out if you can thanks bud. If you have a hp car, your probable exhaust system horsepower gain will be hp. It seems like it did but it could be me. Hello i wanna ask i have mustang GT 5. Alaa — Depends on the specifics.
Could be a lot more, depending on the programer and how you measure. I have a Mustang GT. I was wondering about how much power do you think the cold air intake and Borla cutback exhaust added. I think the tuner may add another The off road H I think would add about 5. The gears would not add any, but would improve acceleration and allow to get into power band quicker. Jason, you seem pretty knowledge and any thoughts from you would be appreciated. Yes hi i have an audi a4 1. But injust read ur combo …so if i just put a muffler and a intake plus a chip…how much hp do i gain.
Next is some custom dual exhaust from the muffler shop. I drive an GM duramax, lb7. Heather — The calculation in the article is regarding horspower…if you know how much torque your exhaust system adds, you can calculate horsepower. Dyno it. Also what performance chip would give me the best HP? Please help me out. Drew — You can probably buy headers that fit the 3. I have 92 camaro L03 hp tq. How much hp to I gain? With accel distributor and coil.
Also would you do headers and exhaust or cat back type exhaust? Thanks for advice. Jason, Thanks for advice, I have a Corsa coming soon and will hold off on a tune until I put in the supercharger a bit later. Looking to add significant horsepower and torque to me 5. Where should I start and what brands are recommended?
Matt — No recommendations other than buying parts that come with dyno charts as proof of the promised gains. If you get an engine tuner, you can double or triple that, especially now that you have a freer flowing intake and exhaust. I have a dodge caliber with a 1. David — Probably, assuming the muffler and air intake were designed for your specific vehicle.
Great article. First, whomever told you that a tuner or programmer will void your WRX warranty is full of baloney! Second, the three things you want to look at on a WRX beside the tuner are intake, downpipe, and cat-back exhaust. There are some systems that combine downpipe and exhaust that are worth a look too. Just look for something that has dyno chart data. HP and Torque wise? Would love your input, thank you! I have a Jaguar xfr with 5.
And what kind and brands of parts do you recommend? Usually, the automakers leave a fair amount of power on the table when they do forced induction. Honestly , i was thinking of putting an air filter and a tunning chip from RaceChip Ultimate which they said it can give more than 70bhp and more than 80Nm torque with 2 years waranty on the engine.
What do you think? Is that safe enough? Can it harm my engine or gearbox in any way? Hi there I have a few questions I have a hyundai sonata sport 2. Thanks for taking the time of reading. Juan — A chip or tuner is a good option for most newer cars.
Lately, auto manufacturers have been leaving a lot of performance on the table out of emissions and fuel economy concerns. As for an exhaust system, yes, they do offer some power. Still, when you combine that with an intake and a tuner, you can add hp pretty easily. That makes a real difference.
Hi Jason from your past experiences how much should a tune up roughly cost and is it worth it or should I jus leave my car stock and just save up for my next purchase which will be the genesis model sport mode of course V6 twin turbo I hope lol thank you so much.
Thx gary. The standard advice is to look at a few systems offered specifically for your truck, find a manufacturer that offers good performance for a fair price, and go for it. What kind of power gains should I expect with a exhaust and is it worth it?
