TYPES OF EXHAUST TIPS
Drivers often neglect the components under an automobile, and usually pay significant attention to the engine of their car. While you might know the importance of installing a good exhaust system for improving performance and fuel efficiency, most people don’t know the types and benefits of car exhaust tips.
The Types of Exhaust Tips
(1)Straight Cut
These exhaust tips feature a traditional, yet cavernous appearance that enhances the beauty and visible blind of the rear end of your vehicle. Even if it is stock equipped in a car, a straight cut tip offers the appearance of a performance exhaust system under your bumper.
(2)Angle Cut
This exhaust tip blends remarkably well with aggressive body styles, or muscle cars to be more particular. The end of the tip boasts an attractive “slant”, adding a sharp, edgy, and muscular appeal to a car. It is a favored option for 4×4 vehicles.
(3)Intercooled
As compared to other exhaust tips, the intercooled variant boasts a secondary tube, surrounded by fins that give off a turbine-like appearance. These exhaust tips are most favored and adored by owners of exotic cars. Their unique styling adds a high-performance feel and looks to your vehicle.
(4)Rolled Edge
These exhaust types boast a curved-inward, beefy-type appearance with a rounded, yet smooth outlet edge. The rolled edge on the tip is responsible for adding “internal depth”, which makes your exhaust system sound and look larger. Often, you would leave onlookers thinking your car features an aftermarket exhaust system.
(5)Single Wall
As the name implies, single wall tips feature a single layer in its metal tubing. All types of exhausts with a solo layer are referred to as “single-wall exhaust tips”. The main benefit of purchasing this type of exhaust is it proves lighter on the pocket, as compared to dual-wall exhaust tips.
(6)Dual Wall
These exhaust tips create the illusion of being heavy and solid. With their two-layer construction, they prove highly attractive. As these tips are available in a range of designs, you can select the one you feel is more suitable for your car, for example, angled or straight cuts.
(7)Turndown Exit
Turndown exit tips, also popularly known as “dump outs”, typically bend towards the end of the tip. They include more chrome than other exhaust tips. Since they look down on the tip from the curb, these exhaust tips bounce sound waves off the road. This results in a slightly louder sound than other exhaust tips.
The Benefits of Exhaust Tips
(1)Improved Sound
An aftermarket exhaust tip adds a more powerful and stronger sound to your car exhaust pipe. Made from strong and durable materials, these accessories produce a throaty, deep roar that makes your engine sound louder and more badass than it is.
Even a simple oval-shaped tip on your tailpipe can provide improve the sound. Therefore, exhaust tips are a cheaper alternative for improved sound, rather than installing an entirely new exhaust system. The difference in sound is quite noticeable.
Exhaust tips with longer tips help project the sound and larger tips make the tone hollower. You can easily discern the difference after installing an exhaust tip. The sound of the exhaust is unrefined and unappealing before installing the tips. Nevertheless, after the installation, the tone is nicer, more detailed, and appealing.
(2)Improved Style
The main task of stock exhaust systems is providing the basic function of emitting unclean and polluted air from the engine. As a result, the pipes and the tailpipes are not appealing in terms of aesthetics and overall style. Aftermarket or branded exhaust tips, on the other hand, improve the overall style and appearance of your tailpipes. As you install these exhaust tips on the tailpipes of your vehicle, they add a more distinctive and unique appeal to the rear end of your car.
Whether it’s an exhaust tip made from chromium, aluminized steel, or stainless steel, the appearance of your vehicle will improve. Add this to an improvement in sound and your car will seem akin to a sports car or at least a car with a modified engine.
Not only are exhaust tips affordable, there are enough choices in the way of finish, shape, and length to keep you pouring through options for quite a while. The new exhaust tips will give you the impression of new-found high style and performance.
