The Skinny on Exhaust
So let’s imagine that you and your significant other just finished a bottle of wine… Now take a look at the bottle and let’s imagine that the more part under the skinny neck (you not the bigger part) is the motor of an engine. Now you see all that air stored in the bottom part of the bottle, that’s engine exhaust. Well what are you waiting for, take all that air that the engine has and push out the thin little neck. That is what the engine is trying to do every time one revolution of the engine goes through and then your engine is idling at 2,000 rpm. Yes that is revolutions per minute.
I was trying to get a point across and I don’t know if I did. For every one revolution your engine goes through, it takes air and fuel, ignites it and the left over, carbon dioxide, is expelled. So as a professional in the field of performance accessories, I can say: A stock exhaust is not made for optimal performance. Well you can’t really blame the automobile producers. They have to worry about noise and pollution (which are mandatory by laws); cost of producing millions of each individual component, the list is endless.
So the answer is a better performing exhaust by a reputable company. Now let’s say that you take that bottle of wine we were talking about previously and put an imaginary performance “muffler” at the end. Well you got the exhaust sounding pretty good, but there is still bottle neck (no pun intended) in the process. You can expect to get a couple of HP (horsepower) on to your auto or truck but without widening up all of the exhaust, you really won’t get a measurable increase in power. At least not one you will feel when you mash down on the gas, not that we do that in public streets Mr. Police.

Heat of Car Exhaust, a new power of Hybrid Cars
The growth of environmentally friendly cars today, like hybrid cars, needs a development of its spare parts that can support hybrid cars itself. One of the technologies that are still in the research and expected to be used commercially is to transform the heat of car exhaust. Heat from car exhaust is now being expanded to become electric.
Electrical energy derived from heat of car exhaust is stored or used directly for these hybrid cars. Even on cars that still use conventional engine or motor fuel, is directly used as fuel to operate the audio, air conditioning and other equipment.
Currently, heat of car exhaust is wasted through car engine and not been widely used.
The system uses a mixture of metal (alloy), which is called “shape memory alloy” (SMA). With this concept is expected to immediately go to the prototype stage that can generate electricity.
Car Exhaust Tips for your Travel
The thing that you should consider before making a travel by car is a condition of your car. An important part you should consider is a feasibility of your car exhaust. Using an improper car exhaust will cause power generated is not optimal, this will cause your travel cost increase. On the other side, an unfeasible car exhaust will disturb the other tourists and can damage environment.
Here are some car exhaust tips for your travel:
1. Consider whether your car exhaust is still in good condition or even have rust and leak. If you find a leakage of car exhaust, please repair it immediately. You can patch it or replace with a new car exhaust.
