The below represent some basic questions that you may have
about our exhaust or exhaust in general. Any specific questions
should be addressed in an email or phone conversation, or
if needed will be added to the FAQs. |

1.Facts on Stainless Steel |
|
|
Why use Stainless Steel versus Mild
or aluminized steel? |
|
|
A: Today’s automotive environment
is hard on components. Stainless Steel offers superior
durability, strength, and
corrosion resistance over the lesser grades of steel. 304
Stainless is accepted as the most corrosion resistant of
all steel used in automotive exhaust components, as it
will not rust and it will not discolor the way 409 stainless
or
mild steel will. |

2. Facts about fit |
|
|
We asked ourselves one question. How many times have we
attempted to install an aftermarket component on our own
cars with less than satisfactory results?
We utilize vehicles owned by our staff members to prototype
and develop all our components. All of our cars are equipped
with our components. Nothing goes on a vehicle unless it
fits properly.

3. Facts on mandrel bend |
|
|
Factory exhaust systems are notorious for the lack of smooth
bends and transitions. Our goal was to bring mandrel bend
tubing to our customers. Not only does it free up extra power
by reducing restrictions inherent in the stock components,
but it also looks better. |

4. Sound |
|
|
All our mufflers have been designed
to provide a deep muscle car sound. If you are looking
for that high pitched or raspy
sounding muffler then we don’t have the product you
are looking for. |

|
5. Horsepower |
|
|
Our converter back system for the 99-04 vehicles saw an
average increase of 5 horsepower and 4lb lb/ft of torque
at the wheels between 3000 and 6800 rpm with peak power increases
of 12.5 hp and 9.5 lb/ft torque at 4000 rpm. This was compared
to an otherwise stock system with a popular aftermarket chambered
muffler. Between 3000 and 5000 rpm the average increase in
Horsepower was 8.3bhp and the average increase in Torque
was 6.4 lb foot. |
