The exhaust system is an important part of the car and is attached to the engine block. This system ensures that the exhaust gases are filtered to prevent environmental impact. In addition, the exhaust system ensures that the sound of the engine is muffled.
The fuel in the car is burned while driving, releasing harmful gases. These gases are transported through the cylinders to the exhaust. In the exhaust, the harmful gases are filtered by the catalytic converter and converted into less harmful gases. This prevents the harmful substances from ending up in the environment. In addition, back pressure is supplied to the engine through the exhaust. This ensures the correct amount of fuel and air in the combustion process. This ensures that the engine can operate as favorably as possible.
Parts in the exhaust system
In the exhaust system you will find several exhaust parts such as manifolds, the catalytic converter, a flexible part, a resonator and a backbox. The exhaust gases enter the exhaust from the engine through the manifold. There is a flexible part between the manifold and the inlet. This flexible part ensures that the tilt of the engine is absorbed during acceleration and shifting. This way the exhaust is not damaged. The resonator then muffles the sound of the engine block, so that it does not make too much noise. Finally, a backbox is mounted at the end of the exhaust. The backbox also dampens noise and filters exhaust emissions.
Furthermore, the exhaust system of a petrol engine is equipped with a lambda sensor. This is a sensor that measures the oxygen content in the exhaust gases. On the basis of the measurements of the lambda sensor, the perfect composition of fuel and air can be estimated. This creates the optimum combustion to emit as few harmful substances as possible.
DIY exhaust
DIY exhaust parts are ideal for the do-it-yourselfer. These parts are made of high-quality material such as stainless steel or steel and are not ready-made parts. With these DIY parts you can build and weld the exhaust yourself. This way the exhaust can be built entirely according to your wishes with materials of the best quality.
Performance exhausts and exhaust tips
Performance exhausts and exhaust tips are a kind of jewelry for the car. With an exhaust tip you can give the car an extra luxurious or sporty look. These exhaust tip pieces are easy to install and have no essential function besides appearance. Just like a decorative piece, a performance exhaust is a nice upgrade for the car and gives a sporty look. In addition to improving the appearance, performance exhausts also provide improved sound and more power. A performance exhaust is less narrow than a normal exhaust. This gives less back pressure to the engine, which provides more torque and power.
