For those of you who want to modify the car by replacing the racing exhaust, here are the tips you need to pay attention to:

The use of exhausts must be prioritized as a sewer for combustion residual gas. So even if you replace the exhaust for modification, don't ignore the main function of the exhaust as a exhaust drain for the car.

Replacement of the modified exhaust must also pay attention to the exhaust structure. Ensure that the header structure of the exhaust gas, resonator, muffler, and exhaust pipe is in accordance with the specifications of your car, so that it remains functioning properly and precise.

Another thing that is important to do when changing the exhaust of the car is to calculate the combination of the exhaust components. So when you want to change the exhaust, you should first come to the repair shop or modified window. Ask technicians to calculate the combination of the components, such as a carburetor, engine position, and manifold intake to ensure the exhaust is functioning optimally.

Modified exhaust cars are also required to pay attention to the header and design of exhaust pipes. Cars generally have multiple channels as exhaust roads before ending up in the same channel.

Channels set from the header will be channeled to fewer channels with 4-2-1 or 4-1 settings. Channel settings are generally found in cars that have four engine cylinders.

The last tip you need to apply when replacing the exhaust of the car is to adjust the exhaust to the manufacturer and type of transmission. Each car can have a combination of a different component pair. So make sure the size, design, and exhaust function are in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer so that it can function optimally.

That is the explanation of the rules for using car racing exhausts that must be known by modified lovers. Replacement of car exhaust is allowed but by complying with the rules and limits set by the government. Also read the causes of buying hard cars and how to overcome them.
