Can Exhaust Improve Performance?
2 Answers
Exhaust can improve performance. Below is the relevant introduction to automobile performance evaluation indicators: 1. Power: The power of a car is expressed by the average driving speed that the car can achieve when driving in a straight line on a good road. The power of a car is mainly evaluated by three indicators: maximum speed; the acceleration time of the car; the maximum slope that the car can climb. 2. Fuel economy: The fuel economy of a car is often measured by the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers of driving under certain working conditions or the mileage that a certain amount of fuel can make the car travel. 3. Braking performance: The ability of a car to stop in a short distance while maintaining driving direction stability, and the ability to maintain a certain speed when going down a long slope is called the braking performance of the car.
After upgrading the exhaust system on my old car, I noticed a significant power boost. Previously, there was a lag when pressing the accelerator, but now it responds instantly with more direct acceleration. The high-performance exhaust allows faster expulsion of gases, letting the engine breathe more freely. Of course, there are downsides, like increased noise levels—it's quite conspicuous on the streets and might violate noise regulations. I also replaced the air filter in tandem, which doubled the effect. Remember, modifications aren't a cure-all; choosing quality parts is crucial to avoid leaks or overheating. I recommend consulting a professional technician first for a thorough inspection. Overall, if you're after driving enjoyment, a well-planned exhaust upgrade is worthwhile, but don't expect it to revolutionize performance.
