Does Modifying Remote Exhaust Valves Damage the Car?

[TimothyLee]

It depends on the specific situation and whether the modification involves only the tail end or the middle and entire section of the exhaust system. If only the tail end is modified, the power remains the same when the valve is fully open, but closing it partially can affect the original power output. Below is an introduction to the automotive exhaust system: 1. The automotive exhaust system is responsible for collecting and discharging waste gases, typically consisting of components such as the exhaust manifold, exhaust pipe, catalytic converter, exhaust temperature sensor, car muffler, and tailpipe. 2. The exhaust manifold is the first component encountered in the waste gas emission process. Its design prioritizes preventing interference between exhaust gases from different cylinders and ensuring gases are expelled as completely as possible. The mid-section of the exhaust pipe plays a relatively straightforward role, primarily guiding the gases from the exhaust manifold to the tailpipe.
