If it fails, your vehicle will release toxic chemicals into the air, which is harmful to the environment. A bad exhaust system may also make your engine burn more fuel than necessary, throwing off overall vehicle performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prevent the hassle of having a bad exhaust system by watching out for symptoms and addressing them as early as possible. Here are the signs you should watch out for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The exhaust pipe is loose<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If the exhaust tip seems to move excessively when driving over bumps, the exhaust hangers may need to be replaced. Get your vehicle checked by a mechanic if this happens as the tip may break if you drive on rough terrain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Excessively loud engine noise<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An exhaust pipe tear may cause louder engine sounds than usual. The muffler and its chambers function to tone down these noises. However, the damaged pipes between the chambers will inadequately manage vibrations, producing more intense engine noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reduced fuel economy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An exhaust leak may happen if there are any damaged components. This may cause your engine temperature to run higher than normal, affecting performance and fuel economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/exhaust-pipe-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"exhaust pipe\" class=\"wp-image-24503\" style=\"width:1024px;height:683px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/exhaust-pipe-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/exhaust-pipe-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/exhaust-pipe-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/exhaust-pipe-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/exhaust-pipe-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/exhaust-pipe.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The cost of a new exhaust system can go from around $45 to $4,200, varying on whether it&rsquo;s sold as a part of a kit, an assembly, or a set.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to Consider When Choosing a New Exhaust System<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the exhaust system has multiple parts and hardware, there are certain factors you should consider when looking for a new one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cost<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The cost of a new exhaust system may vary depending on configurations and inclusions. It can go from around $45 to $4,200, varying on whether it&rsquo;s sold as a part of a kit, an assembly, or a set. Some may prefer to buy components individually, but a set or kit may be more convenient as it contains all the hardware necessary for quick installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Material<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to material, you can&rsquo;t go wrong with stainless steel. It&rsquo;s good at fending off rust and corrosion, which is common with metal exhaust pipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Specifications<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking down your vehicle&rsquo;s specifications is important to make sure that your new exhaust system is compatible with it. Ill-fitting components may cause problems later on, after installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Should You Upgrade Your Exhaust System?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few premium exhaust systems on the market now that can essentially upgrade your vehicle&rsquo;s current kit. Aftermarket exhausts can increase pipe diameters, replace restrictive mufflers, and utilize smoother mandrel bends. Exhaust gases thus escape more easily, which in turn allows the engine to take on more fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consult a trusted mechanic if you&rsquo;re looking to upgrade your vehicle&rsquo;s exhaust system. Not all aftermarket systems are created equal, and they&rsquo;ll be more than happy to point you to the most worthwhile upgrades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exhaust System Types<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You&rsquo;ll likely run into a lot of different terminology while shopping around for an upgraded exhaust system, especially if you&rsquo;re looking for one for your truck. Here are the common exhaust system types and what they mean:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Axle-Back<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Axle-back exhaust systems replace the entire rear exhaust section behind the rear axles. This includes the mufflers, exhaust tips, and exhaust pipes. Axle-back systems typically leave the mid-pipe intact, which limits performance gains but makes the system easier to install and less expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Header-Back<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Header-back systems are rare in modern systems. Modern vehicles rely on one to three catalytic converters, often with an added pre-converter in the factory exhaust manifolds and another primary converter where the y-pipe or header meets the factory mid-pipe. Header-back systems often require you to remove one or more of these factory emission components, which is illegal. But header-back systems are still useful for pre-emission applications. They&rsquo;re the most expensive and challenging systems to install though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cat-Back<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cat-back systems replace all the exhaust components behind the vehicle&rsquo;s catalytic converter. This includes the mufflers, the resonators, most of the piping, and the tailpipes. Because they replace more restrictions, they often increase performance exponentially, but they&rsquo;re more complicated to install and more expensive compared to axle-back systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Direct Fit Mufflers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Direct fit muffler systems are aftermarket mufflers that you simply bolt in. They create a better exhaust note and improve horsepower and torque. The great thing is that these mufflers reuse factory hangers and mounting locations so they don&rsquo;t need too much customization to fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of the day, it&rsquo;s best to take a good look at the exhaust brands for trucks and other vehicles available to you. Find an exhaust system type that you like with features you&rsquo;d appreciate, and be sure to make an informed decision before forking over any cash.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 7<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span>Any vehicle powered by an internal combustion engine, whether it&rsquo;s a sedan, SUV, or truck, is going to have an&#8230; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/the-best-exhaust-systems-for-your-vehicle-top-6-brands\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":24501,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[268],"tags":[2922,2923,2844,1237,2174,2924,2925],"ppma_author":[2607,3269],"class_list":{"0":"post-24451","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-reviews","8":"tag-borla-exhaust-system","9":"tag-crown-exhaust-system","10":"tag-dynomax-exhaust-system","11":"tag-exhaust-system-2","12":"tag-flowmaster-exhaust-system","13":"tag-magnaflow-exhaust-system","14":"tag-mbrp-exhaust-system","15":"entry"},"acf":{"adrotate_specific_mobile_ad":"","adrotate_specific_desktop_ad":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The Best Exhaust Systems for Your Vehicle: Top 6 Brands - In The Garage with CarParts.com<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Looking for a new exhaust system for your vehicle?
