FAQ

Whenever in doubt just contact us directly and we can have a chat about your needs and options. With custom solutions, there are no easy answers but we did our best to shed some light on the matter anyway.

What is a cat back exhaust system?

The cat in the cat back is short for the catalytic converter and refers to any part that’s behind it. It typically consists of elements like mid-pipe, muffler, tailpipe, and tips.

What are the benefits? Does an exhaust system add horsepower?

A custom exhaust system enhances performance, increases horsepower, improves fuel efficiency, and you get to show a bit of personality with a distinctive look.

How does a custom exhaust system improve performance?

By optimizing exhaust flow, a custom system reduces back pressure, which in turn allows the engine to expel exhaust gases more efficiently. The results are improved horsepower and torque.

Does an exhaust system increase fuel economy?

Yes, a well-designed custom exhaust system can optimize the air-fuel ratio, leading to better fuel efficiency and overall performance. There are also other ways, like dyno tuning or, in some cases, engine reconditioning.

Will it make my vehicle louder?

That’s actually up to you – it can pretty much be adjusted. Some custom systems provide a more aggressive exhaust note, while others are designed to maintain a milder sound. On top of that, there are certain parts, like resonator exhaust tips, that can help reduce it.

How long does it take to install a custom exhaust system?

It all depends on many factors – like how complex the system is or whether it’s a fully custom-made solution or not. Let’s have a chat about your needs and expectations first, and then we’ll be able to provide some more specific timelines.

What about maintenance? How to clean an exhaust system?

Some routine inspections are definitely recommended to make sure the system is in top condition. However, with durable materials and quality craftsmanship maintenance requirements are minimal. When it comes to cleaning, it’s pretty simple – use an old rag soaked in a mix of water and soap to clean the outside of the pipe and keep all the dirt and smoke build-up at bay.

Can installing this kind of system improve the resale value of my vehicle?

As we all know, there’s no accounting for taste, but a high-quality custom exhaust system can enhance the looks of your vehicle and more importantly – its performance. That alone typically has a positive impact on resale value, but there’s no rule.

What materials are used in your custom exhausts?

That depends on many different factors (the budget being one), but generally speaking, we typically bet on premium materials – from stainless steel to high-quality alloys to make sure they’re durable enough and resistant to corrosion.

Do cat back exhaust systems improve performance?

Yes, it’s actually one of the best ways to do so – just like any exhaust system mod, it helps reduce back pressure and improve airflow, while giving a car a bit more aggressive sound.
