How Does an ATV Exhaust Upgrade Affect Your ATV?

Your ATV’s exhaust system plays a big role in determining your bike’s overall performance. ATV manufacturers put in a lot of research to create a powerful engine, but without an enhanced exhaust system, the engine will not give you that much needed extra horsepower. Whether you utilize your ATV for fun and adventure or for useful work like snow plowing, it is a good idea to invest in a powerful aftermarket ATV exhaust system that you can customize to suit your needs. There are three important ways in which the exhaust system will affect your ATV:

Power

As mentioned earlier, the quickest way to increase your ATV’s horsepower at a cost effective price is to upgrade the exhaust system. This may be a convenient slip-on exhaust system or a permanent replacement of the manufacturer’s exhaust. It is important to select an exhaust system from a reputable company that invests in quality research and development to avoid negative effects on your engine.

Acoustics

While more sound does not always equate to more power, one of the immediate effects of an enhanced ATV exhaust system is that aggressive rumble that is part of the appeal for some riders. However, in some environments, the sound of your customized exhaust becomes a liability. Most urban areas now have a designated maximum noise limit, usually around 95db. Fortunately, ATV exhaust manufactures designed tunable exhausts with low volume inserts that results in a pleasant and environment friendly rumble. These ensure that you stay within legal noise limits and still enjoy the increased performance. Some exhaust systems additionally have carbon converters to reduce pollution, making them USFS approved.

The exhaust system is also a key factor ATV’s appeal in the looks department. Installing slip-on exhaust systems especially is a fast and stylish makeover tip for your ATV. The exhaust system design must be distinctive, with clean finishes and all without decreasing the engine’s performance. There is a variety of such designs to choose from to suit each rider’s preferences and depending on the ATV’s functions from the major manufacturers.

Always look for a seal of approval to ensure the manufacturer has complied with market and safety standards to protect your ATV. Also, avoid exhaust systems that are held together by rivets and bolts. Opt instead for systems with welded parts. This will ensure that the system can withstand extreme pressure exerted without resulting in damages. The ATV exhaust system must also be installed professionally to avoid leakages which can damage your engine. Superior exhaust systems are made from strong materials including stainless steel and titanium to ensure durability. Aluminum is also used to reduce weight and bulk for a more streamlined finish.
