Noticeable gains will be noticed in the initial throttle response, with reduced turbo lag. Engine movement and exhaust weight are transferred into the exhaust hangers, which puts a lot of stress on the mount brackets. IE's catback system is manufactured with multi-point and boxed-in hanger mounts designed to stand the test of time. Drive confidently knowing your exhaust is securely mounted and protected against annoying rattles or breaks. All piping is constructed of mandrel-bent T304L stainless steel to offer superior corrosion resistance.
You’ll save right away when you add a front-pipe and a downpipe to your base system over buying each of these individually. Many car fanatics love a unique sound for their ride, almost similar to a racecar. It’s no secret that the standard vehicle exhaust system won’t produce a roaring or distinguishable sound. This is where a back cat exhaust system will be favorable to any motorist. The upgraded system will give you a more enjoyable, louder ride. But this is where certain systems will do better than others, so be sure to look into which one will be right for you.
This is achieved by burning off the excess hydrocarbons which result from the extra-rich mixture required for a cold start. Slightly lean of stoichiometric, the exhaust gases from the engine contain excess oxygen, the production of NOx by the engine increases, and the efficiency of the catalyst at reducing NOx falls off rapidly. However, the conversion of HC and CO is very efficient due to the available oxygen, oxidizing to H2O and CO2. However, the efficiency of the catalyst at reducing NOx is good, and the production of NOx by the engine decreases.
It typically includes a rear pipe, resonator, and muffler that all attach after the last catalytic converter. The turbo-back system is the most complete system you can buy. It replaces all of the components that the previous two systems that we’ve talked about and also upgrades the downpipe. The downpipe is the first piece of exhaust piping that comes after the turbocharger and it also houses the catalytic converters on all L15 powered 1.5T Civics and Integras. From a sound and performance perspective, you’re going to get the most of both compared to the other two versions mentioned before.
