Cat-back exhaust - make it a happy ending - By: Louie Liu

We know that the car burns fuel to generate power to run itself. And one would think what this would involve is putting the fuel in the cylinder, igniting it to cause a small explosion and capturing the mechanical energy caused by the explosion with the help of rods and links. And once that was done the car would get the power it needs.

But in many respects the story does not end with the controlled explosion in the car's cylinder. In fact at the time a new story starts. And this is the story of the exhaust gases. And unless the story of the exhaust gases runs to its end the next amount of fuel will not be able to get into the engine's cylinder.

So what needs to be done with the car's exhaust gases? Well they need to be expanded slowly otherwise the small controlled explosion will create a big noise. They also need to be passed through a catalytic converter to make sure very toxic fumes do not pass into the environment. And finally they have to be led outside so that they can escape into the atmosphere.

And your stock car is able to do that for sure. In fact if the exhaust gases could not leave the car's engine will not be able to run. So how do cat back exhausts help? Well though the exhaust system of the stock car enables the exhaust gases to leave they are not able to do so very easily and this results in back pressure which the engine must overcome to continue running. This costs you precious engine power. A cat back exhaust will help the gases leave quickly and efficiently. This means there is less back pressure and the engine does not need to huff and puff to get rid of the exhaust gases.

And additional benefit is that the car's engine noise is mostly due to the expansion of the exhaust gases and a good cat back exhaust will give your car's engine a great up market sound. So if you plan to make your car look special with aftermarket body kits, you can also make it sound special with a cat back exhaust. You can see the latest ones at http://www.ilovebodykits.com.
