The exhaust system is a crucial part of your engine. It removes unclean air and lets the engine breathe better so it can take in more each cycle, boosting power. Unfortunately, factory exhaust systems aren’t as efficient as they could be and there is usually room for improvement. That’s where performance exhaust systems come in.
A performance exhaust system performance exhaust systems can boost horsepower and torque while making your Toyota diesel sound aggressive, cool and powerful. The exact increases will vary, depending on the size of the pipes, and other factors such as your driving habits and your car’s engine.
The best performance exhaust systems are designed and built to be as quiet as possible. That’s because they aren’t just about performance; they are also about not irritating your neighbours or yourself on long drives. Hence the term “performance to blow your mind, not your ears.”
Many aftermarket exhausts are based on standard designs that work well for most cars, but these are mass-produced, bolt-on kits that don’t optimise each component. A bespoke design takes all these factors into consideration and the results are far more impressive. Jetex are one company that specialise in building performance exhausts. Their slogan is “Performance to blow your mind, not your ears.” They do this by carefully engineering their exhausts to be civilised at low RPMs so they don’t rob you of all that extra power and make your car sound like an industrial drone.
Upgrading your exhaust can significantly increase your fuel economy. This is because a free-flowing exhaust system reduces restrictions, which in turn increases your vehicle’s gas mileage. How much you improve your fuel efficiency will depend on the size of the pipe diameter and the amount of backpressure it creates. This is because your exhaust needs some restriction to scavenge spent gases, so it is important that you get the right amount of pressure.
A good aftermarket exhaust will be made of a material that is strong, durable and corrosion resistant. This will ensure that your new exhaust lasts longer and stays in good condition for much longer than a stock system, which can start to leak or crack over time. This is especially true if you are exposed to harsh weather conditions.
