Call or stop by to schedule FREE estimates for all your muffler and exhaust system needs. We will return your calls the same day. The old one had rusted out. I came in for an estimate. I made the appointment, and showed up at the correct time. They did a great job, complete removal of the old system.
You will also notice the performance exhaust boost in power within your first moments of acceleration onto the open road. Exhaust header installation is a labor-intensive job, and it requires specific tools. Technicians will make sure to replace or augment any studs or other parts that might need adjustment due to the installation of the header. As a consequence, you will notice more torque from the engine, and more power while you drive.
Technicians will always check the exhaust tubing for loose sections in need of quick tightening. Tightening down the bolts to spec will often keep them secured for a long period of time despite vibrations from the engine and roadway. If you drive your vehicle in demanding situations or over rough surfaces, your vehicle may also need replacement exhaust brackets on occasion. Going to regular professional inspections will help you stay on top of these maintenance needs to keep your exhaust system in great shape.
Technicians can help identify the ideal exhaust system for your vehicle type and driving needs. The exhaust system may need to include high flow mufflers, sound tightening resonators, and wide diameter tubing to create a perfect flow rate for your engine size and power rating. The exhaust system is similar to the intake system in that pipe diameter and length plays an important role in the efficiency of the system. Smaller pipe diameters maintain good exhaust gas velocity and improve low-end and midrange performance.
Larger pipe diameters work well for large engines and those that see high engine speeds. A well-designed set of headers also has the ability to scavenge the exhaust out of the cylinders. Think of what we discussed earlier: the piston pushes the exhaust gas out of the cylinder into the pipe.
This makes it easier for the piston to evacuate the cylinder. Scavenging typically only works at certain engine speeds, and depends greatly upon pipe diameter and camshaft timing, but this should serve to reinforce the need to size a set of headers so that they complement a particular engine where that engine works the best.
Past the headers, the pipes that run into the muffler s and out the back also play a role in performance. Order the exhaust system you want so you can install it on your vehicle. For example, if you have a dual-exhaust engine, then you need a system that has 2 exhaust ports. If your old exhaust system went over your rear axle, then get an exhaust system that comes in multiple pieces so you can easily install it. Clean the rust off of the bolt threads with a wire cleaning brush.
Try to get the most rust off of the threadings as possible so you can easily screw and unscrew the nuts on them. Apply anti-seize fluid on all of the bolt threadings. Put the anti-seize fluid on your finger and rub it around the threadings of the bolt.
Lift the new exhaust system into place using your jack. Keep lifting the exhaust system until the end of the pipe lines up with the port on the downpipe, which comes down from the engine and connects to the entire system.
Part 4. Place a gasket over the downpipe with one of the bolts. A gasket is a thin piece that fits between pipes to prevent any leaks from escaping the connection. Hold the port at the end of the downpipe steady and lay the gasket on top of it. Slide one of the bolts through the downpipe and gasket so the threaded end points toward the rear of your vehicle. Attach the front of the exhaust system loosely to the downpipe with the bolts.
Position the end of the new exhaust pipe with the port on the downpipe so the bolt holes line up. Connect sections of your system with exhaust clamps, if needed. Get exhaust clamps, which are metal loops that you can tighten around pipes to hold them together, from your local hardware or automotive store. Tighten the clamp with a ratchet so it holds the pieces tightly.
You may also have extension pipes that connect between some of the pieces. In some cases, you may need to weld the pieces together rather than use clamps, so see what the manufacturer recommends. Plug the oxygen sensors back into the ports on your vehicle.
Locate the small holes in the sides of the exhaust pipe near the front axle of your vehicle. Slide the old oxygen sensors back into the holes and tighten them by hand by turning the bolts clockwise. Slide the metal pins on the system into the rubber exhaust hangers. The metal pins will line up with the rubber hangers you already have under your vehicle. Apply firm pressure until you see the end of the pin poke through the other side of the hanger.
Continue putting the pins through the other hangers to secure the pipe against your vehicle. Tighten the bolts at the front of the exhaust until they form a tight seal. Go back to the front of your exhaust system and use your ratchet to rotate the nuts clockwise. Be careful not to overtighten them since you could damage the exhaust system or cause leaks.
Spray the connections with soapy water to see if there are any leaks. Fill a bottle with soapy water and spray any areas where you had to connect pipes to one another. If you notice bubbles forming around the connection, tighten the bolts more to see if it fixes your problem. The only fluid that you might encounter is water. This might occur if the outside temperatures are pretty low or humidity is very high. The water might actually be brownish due to the dirt inside the exhaust system.
