Performance headers for better performance

Your car is built to perform. And perform it does. However the performance it delivers is despite several components holding it back. That is to say your car can perform even better with the same engine specs if some of the components are modified.

You may wonder why manufacturers do not make these refinements since the car would enjoy a stronger reputation if it has a better performance. The answer to that is that a manufacturer has a strike a balance between cost, look and performance of the car. You as an individual buyer are free to personalize the car and improve its looks or performance or both. That is why custom body kits are popular car aftermarket products.

If you wish to improve the performance in an elegant way that does not increase the load on the engine you should consider performance headers. Performance headers improve performance by making it easier for the engine to perform its reciprocating cycle. This reciprocating cycle consists of accepting fuel air mixture, compressing it, exploding the mixture by igniting it causing an expansion and creation of exhaust gases and finally compressing it again to remove the exhaust gases. This cycle is carried on continuously and that is how the engine generates power for the vehicle.

This last part of the cycle is made easier by performance headers. The exhaust gases have to pass through the silencer and the related pipes to make the exit. Since they can’t get out very fast they create a back pressure. This slows down the engines reciprocating cycle. Performance headers increase the paths available to the exhaust gases to leave and they are able to leave quicker. This reduces the back pressure and thereby improves the engine performance.

Performance headers need to be precision engineered and therefore you should choose a manufacturer with a strong reputation.

With performance headers installed you can enjoy a boosted car performance. If you will compare your car’s performance with that of an unmodified factory built car you will find that your car performs better.
