Cat Back Exhaust Systems

Exhaust systems are crucial to any high performance driving machine. Cat back exhaust systems improve exhaust flow from the engine improving breathing efficiency and boosting power output. High performance cat back exhaust systems not only improve performance, but also create the deep, aggressive tone racing machines are known for.

Cat Back Exhaust Systems, a New Level of Performance

Cat back exhaust systems are essential upgrades for any high performance automobile, and are easily installed by enthusiasts of any skill level. Cat back exhaust systems are generally manufactured from stainless steel, and include pipes, hangers, clamps, mufflers and tips. Most systems are easily bolted on in place of factory systems, usually require no welding, and can generally be installed in one to two hours.

Things to look for in a cat back exhaust system include a stainless steel body with high temperature acoustical suppression material designed for maximum sound absorption. Mufflers of this caliber deliver a smooth, deep tone most drivers prefer, without deafening the neighbors. A straight through one-piece core will ensure unrestricted flow with no backpressure. Avoid distortion and cracking at the joints by looking for all welded lap jointed contacts.

It is preferable to purchase a cat back exhaust system from a professional installer as opposed to a "do it yourself" discount parts warehouse. A professional installer will be able to help guide you through installation and make recommendations on how to increase horsepower. He can also help guide you through legal engine and exhaust modifications. This will help ensure that your car passes stringent state emission inspections to keep you on the road and out of trouble.
