Exhaust System Part 1

Power Gains

Q.		What sort of power gain can I expect to get?
A.		Each car has it's own characteristics, and the power gain can vary greatly between them. 8-10% is about the most accurate general figure to cover all variations.

Q.		What is a resonator and what's the difference between a resonated and non-resonated exhaust system?
A.		A resonator is a chamber in the exhaust system that contains a specific volume of air which is designed to cancel out certain frequencies of sound (made by the engine) - making the exhaust noise quieter. Therefore, a non-resonated exhaust system will give you extra performance and a louder exhaust note and the resonated system will give you extra performance without increasing the exhaust noise much. Cleaning Tips Q. How do I clean my stainless steel tailpipes without scratching or damaging them? A. It is important to note that if you don't clean your tailpipes regularly (and we know that some of you don't :) ), they will suffer from discolouration and become harder to clean. Because of the high-quality stainless steel, you will always be able to get them back to looking brand new (without any degradation in the materials), but the longer you've left it without cleaning them, the harder it will be! Our tailpipes are made from the highest quality polished stainless steel, we have found that the best way to clean them is to use a Silver Polish. The actual specific product we use is called Silvo Silver Polish with Wadding. It's important to get the one with the wadding inside as it's really good at getting it clean. Clean the bulk of the soot off the surface with an old rag first and then use the polish/wadding to get your tailpipe(s) sparkling again.
