Different exhaust systems offer different noise levels and tones, but how? Sound quality and overall loudness of an exhaust system can vary significantly depending on the pipe diameter, size and design of the muffler, resonator inclusion, and the number of outlets. For this reason, all systems sold on RealTruck are filtered by noise level, including loud, moderate, and quiet. From the factory, most manufacturers employ small-diameter piping, restrictive mufflers, and noise-reducing resonators, significantly smothering exhaust flow and sound quality. A front pipe back system replaces a few key components of the OEM Honda or Acura exhaust found on your EX, Touring, Si, or A-Spec that are after the Front Pipe (the pipe that goes under the engine).
There are subtle changes on the outside to let onlookers know that this is no ordinary F-150, such as a custom dual-intake hood, a custom front fascia and grille combo, and Shelby badging. For the interior, Shelby adds carbon-fiber trim, billet racing pedals, custom floor mats, and a serialized plaque. For lean-burn spark-ignition engines, an oxidation catalyst is used in the same manner as in a diesel engine. Emissions from lean burn spark ignition engines are very similar to emissions from a diesel compression ignition engine. Upon failure, a catalytic converter can be recycled into scrap.
As an added bonus, cat-back systems include all of the necessary parts to replace your existing exhaust. The only costs you need to worry about are the kit itself and installation. Installing one of our cat-back exhaust systems is one of the best upgrades you can do on your Ford Maverick. Cat-back exhaust refers to what's in "back" of the "cat," or catalytic converter. It refers to the components that run from the rear outlet of the catalytic converter all the way back to the exhaust tip.
In layman’s terms, a catback exhaust system provides a smoother, more streamlined path for exhaust gases to exit your car, allowing your engine to work more efficiently. When catalytic converters were first introduced, most vehicles used carburetors that provided a relatively rich air-fuel ratio. Oxygen (O2) levels in the exhaust stream were therefore generally insufficient for the catalytic reaction to occur efficiently.
Considering cat-back exhausts replace more restrictions, they typically offer increased performance and noise compared to axle-back systems
