Why Choose Stainless Steel On Car Exhaust?

Choosing performance exhaust can be baffling. There are so many misconceptions and misinformation surrounding the choice of materials as well as manufacturer.

Millions of car exhaust systems are replaced each year because of poor performance and corrosion. Day in and day out, automotive exhaust systems are exposed to mixture of carbon monoxide, moisture unburned hydrocarbons, oxides of nitrogen and more. These gases condense and ruin the system internally. The external deterioration is also contributed by corrosive salts, mud and moisture. These elements combined with high temperatures, vibration, uneven road surfaces, emission control requirements and different traffic patterns make it simple to decipher the need for a durable and lasting car exhaust system. This is the main reason why auto experts suggest stainless steel exhausts over other materials.

Other car owners think other materials like chrome is good choice but recent studies boosted by auto experts attest to the efficiency and durability of stainless steel car exhausts. They are engineered to withstand destructive conditions. Auto experts suggest Borla exhaust and other stainless steel exhaust system. These exhausts are said to be guaranteed for a million miles.

Aside from the misinformation regarding the material used, there is also a misconception regarding the exhaust’s size. Some vehicle owners believe that the bigger the exhaust is the better. In fact, even some manufacturers seem to feel the same way. Studies show that for street driving, big pipes just take energy out of the system. It is done by slowing exhaust gas velocity or by cooling the gases. A good sign that energy has been lost is when exhaust leaves the port at 1500 degrees or more and the tailpipe slowed to 150 degrees. Uninterrupted flow and velocity are considered real-performance-making factors.

Low frequency range has energy. However, big pipes increase the low frequencies resulting to eerie droning and roaring sound. As oppose to big pipes, Lincoln Aviator Borla exhaust is specifically engineered to achieve less restriction. Further, it keeps the frequency and velocity high so the main sound is reduced and is delivered behind the tailpipe.

Some of the stainless steel car exhaust systems available in the market these days are built of aircraft-quality T-304. It is true stainless inside and out, not aluminum, not mild steel, not coated aluminum, not just enveloped with stainless on the outside for show.

Car exhaust coatings extend the life of mild steel however; coatings suffer at the weld points. Compared to aluminized steel, 100 percent steel is has the highest chromium content, making it the most resistant to corrosion. Moreover, it is the most reliable material for a long-lasting car exhaust system.

Nowadays, the car exhaust system comes with a diverse design. This is due to the experimentations made by most manufacturers. Diversity in style is resorted to boost the overall appearance of the car.

Why You Need a Performance Exhaust

To ensure car manufacturers meet the expectations of the mainstream customer, many of today’s cars leave the factory with low-velocity, ultra-quiet exhaust systems. As a result, exhaust flow (along with power and torque) is restricted. But our performance exhaust systems release this stranglehold on your engine. By using patented technology to boost exhaust flow velocity, our exhausts systems unleash the power and optimize your cars performance.

What’s more, you will gain a non-raspy distinctive euro exhaust note. And while stock exhaust systems tend to discolor and lose their showroom appearance quickly, our systems ads fine motorsport styling to your vehicle, designed to endure years of heavy use. Precision manufacturing using aircraft quality T-304 stainless steel prevents corrosion, and keeps your exhaust system looking new. Each system includes a variety of trademark engineering enhancements. Including ultra-smooth mandrel bends for maximum flow and power.

Sport Exhaust Systems:

If you are interested in modifying you VW/Audi for better performance, the exhaust system should be the first step. A good sport exhaust will provide more power for the money than any other modification you can consider. Plus, a sport exhaust makes your car sound that much better. Usually, both horsepower and mileage go up when you upgrade the exhaust.

Note: Failure to change the exhaust before making other performance modifications can hurt performance. Some cam and chip upgrades just do not work properly without upgrading the exhaust system.

The cast iron dual outlet manifold lasts and lasts and is quieter than a tubular header. In most cases, your stock cast iron exhaust manifold or a cast euro-manifold will offer excellent results when used with a Techtonics Tuned downpipe or euro-downpipe and sport exhaust system. (The exceptions to this are the ‘82 & up Scirocco, ‘83-’84 GTI/GLI single outlet manifolds.) The difference in power output between the best headers and the stock or euro-manifold/Techtonics Tuned downpipe combination is quite small.

Techtonics Tuning has a downpipe for use on the early VW’s with stock catalytic converters. A direct replacement on early cars with a stock dual outlet manifold or cars that have been fitted with the dual outlet manifold, this downpipe will “keep you legal” while adding about 8% more horsepower to a stock motor. Something else to consider: Due to the rocking motion of a transverse mounted engine, it is difficult to make a header that will hold up well. Tubular headers just do not last for most people.

BBM is very pleased to offer you Techtonics Tuned Exhaust for the earlier VW’s. This system doesn’t make as much “advertised” horsepower as our competitors claim their’s does. However, in terms of “real” dyno tested power Techtonics Tuning systems have the competition marking their words.

Another plus for the TECHTONICS TUNED exhaust is that all parts for the system are available separately. How do they fit? With more than 20 years of refinement TT systems fit better than the competitions. All systems have a resonator as well as a muffler to dampen out harsh sound levels.

Stainless Steel Exhaust Systems:

Simply the best fitting and longest lasting exhaust system available for your VW. With over 20 years of refinement and upgrading we are able to offer a * Limited Lifetime Warranty on all stainless steel cat back exhaust systems. Our latest systems are made of 304 stainless steel. This includes the tubing, clamps, resonator, and muffler. Perfect for “salt belt” dwellers. Nobody gives you the options that TT offers. You can choose the sound level by ordering the system with 0,1 or 2 resonators (available for the Mk2, Mk3, Passat 16V & Corrado G-60).
