Performance Exhaust for The Ultimate Ride

Performance Exhaust for The Ultimate Ride

A high performance exhaust really makes a difference if you really love your car. The variance between a regular exhaust and one that’s high performance is instantly noticeable to any car lover out there. Today we check out the core components of one of these exhaust systems.

An exhaust is that part of a vehicle responsible for transporting combustion gases from the engine to the air through the vehicle’s exhaust pipes. For effectiveness and high efficiency of your vehicle engine, it’s important that your exhaust system is in optimal condition.

A high performance exhaust effectively collects all traces of gases from the engine cylinder and screens the gas to get rid of harmful substances in the gas before discharging it into the atmosphere. Every vehicle’s engine produces noise due to the collision of gases that are emitted from the engine cylinder, but a performance exhaust helps to drastically reduce the noise level where required.

Performance exhausts contain several components which include:

Performance Exhaust Pipes

This component of the performance exhaust is used to transport combusted gas from the engine cylinder to the atmosphere. It has an outlet where the gas escapes from. It is usually made from aluminium because of the high heat resistivity of aluminium.

Catalytic Converter

This is the component of the performance exhaust that converts the harmful substances in the burned gas into harmless ones. It helps to prevent the release of toxic compounds into the atmosphere, reducing air pollution. The catalytic converter works on the principle of oxidation and reduction.

Exhaust Manifold

This is the part of the performance exhaust that first receives combusted gas from your vehicle’s engine. It is affixed to the side of your engine and happens to be at the upper part of the performance exhaust system. It also has the ability to combust any unburnt or inadequately burnt fuel that comes from your engine.

Muffler

This component is basically what distinguishes a performance exhaust from an ordinary one. It is the section of an exhaust that reduces the level of noise produced by the exhaust of your engine. Basically, the muffler absorbs the noise that comes from your internal combustion engine.

Tailpipe

This is the long outer component of the performance exhaust that is open to outside air. It serves as a channel to release the already filtered gas into the atmosphere. You might have one or more tailpipes depending on your vehicle.

All these are what makes up a performance exhaust. It is important that every one of these components is functioning well to help increase the efficiency of your engine, and optimise the performance of your vehicle.

Engine Tuning

Walkinshaw Performance was founded by British motor racing driver Tom Walkinshaw in 1976. He was also the founder of a racing team called Tom Walkinshaw Racing. Walkinshaw was involved in professional rugby union being the owner of club Gloucester Rugby and holding other executive roles in the sport.

In 1987, Tom Walkinshaw ventured into a partnership with Holden and together they formed Holden Special Vehicles. Few years after the inception, they took over the maintenance and construction of motor racing cars for the Holden’s racing team. This resulted in Walkinshaw Performance becoming a key participant in the Australian motor racing landscape.

In 2005 and 2006 Walkinshaw cemented its role in the motor racing industry, investing in a high performance sports cars maker to add to his company, purchasing Elfin sports cars. Just recently in 2016, Walkinshaw Performance in collaboration with Neville Crichton began selling Ram Pickups.

However, in 2008, Holden Special Vehicles and Walkinshaw Performance partnership came to an end when their motor racing contract went to the Kelly’s family, who went ahead to set up the Kelly racing after purchasing Perkins Engineering.

2009 saw the debut of the Walkinshaw Racing which is a two car operation known individually as Team Autobarn and Bundaberg Red Racing.
