aFe air intake systems and filters are very good at getting air to your engine
faster and more efficiently. However, we realize that it is important
to get the air out as well. Just like anything else, the more you ingest,
the more you need to expel, otherwise things can get clogged up. That
is the reason why we offer exhaust systems to go along with our air intake
systems. It a natural extension of our efforts to enhance the science
of airflow management in performance vehicles.
This is especially true in the diesel motor which is
simply a huge air pump. Since diesel engines are a compression ignition
engine and modern diesel-powered vehicles are turbocharged, the more
air you pump
in, the more power you generate. However, which turbocharged diesel,
it is very important to get the hot exhaust out or the Exhaust Gas Temperature
(EGT) rise to critical level that could damage the turbo itself. Most
OE manufacturers offer a restrictive 3 1/2" exhaust system which is fine
for normal every day city or highway driving. But you bought a diesel
truck for its towing or work capabilities, didn't you? If so, you want
more power to go up that grade towing your boat, trailer or tools.
Getting the air in will give you more power. Getting
the air out will give you more power. When you get more air in and out
at the same time, you get a lot more power. With our 4" exhaust systems
are mandrel bent aluminized steel which eliminates the sharp bends and
kinks that the factory stock exhaust systems have. The aluminized steel
resists corrosion as well as stainless steel but is priced more economically. |
