Exhaust

Exhaust is another way to enhance the performance and look of your vehicle. A full exhaust or catback system should be installed instead of just a "performance muffler." Performance exhaust frees up airflow going out of the engine and in essence creates more horsepower. But there is a limit on how big exhaust piping can go before it actually hurts the performance aspect. Every engine needs a little amount of pressure and if exhaust piping gets too large, then the back pressure disappears and performance is lost; engines can even explode because of little or no back pressure. An example would be like blowing through a drinking straw compared to a cardboard roll of toilet paper. More air pressure is pushed through the proper sized tube than the over sized one. Engines are the same way. In addition, having a hole in the exhaust or muffler is not the same as having a performance exhaust. It may sound similar, but the performance aspect is totally different.
