The very first few engine modifications are usually intake, header and exhaust. Getting more air in and out of the engine will increase performance. However, doing so requires perfect engineering. Piping too small will cause a restriction in airflow while piping too large will be too free-flowing and not provide enough back pressure. To get the optimum result in horsepower, you'll want to buy an intake, header and exhaust from a reputable manufacturer that has done the research and engineering for your car. Other features to look for include construction, sound and look. Expensive stainless steel constructed exhaust are not only better-looking, and a bit more rust resilient, they are also usually much lighter than typical pieces. The following are some of the best products that are on the market today.
