Carbon Fiber Exhaust Systems

Exhaust systems are generally ignored by most car owners. But, there is a lot of muscle in a good car exhaust system. The exhaust system of your car is essentially a tubing system that guides exhaust fumes and waste gases away from the engine of your car, and into the air outside through one or two exhaust pipes. The design of exhaust systems has to be perfect in order to facilitate the transportation of toxic gases. Additionally, the pipe must be heat resistant because most engines are very hot and pipes that become too hot can easily cause burns and scalds. If the pipe has holes, it will emit toxic wastes and your car will fail its MOT test. So, a robust exhaust system is vital to health of your car and of the environment.

If you ever thought that style and performance cannot coexist in exhaust systems, think again. These days, exhaust systems in cars are bought not just for their functionality, but also for their appearance. Good exhaust systems must look good and do a good job of waste disbursal. That is why carbon fiber exhaust systems have become very popular with consumers. You can find a wide range of carbon fiber mufflers that have a clear gloss finish that contain visible natural carbon fiber running around precision welded stainless steel pipes. Thus, these mufflers can easily provide the strength and impetus required for instant acceleration. Full carbon fiber exhaust systems may not operate properly under high temperature, but the fusion of stainless steel and carbon fiber will yield durability and performance, not to mention great looks too!

Two of the most popular kinds of exhaust systems are those made from carbon fiber and those made from titanium fiber. Of these, carbon fiber exhaust systems seem to be more popular due to various reasons. Carbon fiber exhaust systems are lighter. They are also easier to clean and they are very low maintenance. In contrast, titanium exhaust systems look good initially, but they scratch a lot and are difficult to maintain. So, if you want good looks but low maintenance, go for carbon fiber exhaust systems. Carbon mufflers give your car that aggressive race car look.
 

However, carbon filter exhaust systems do have a tendency to fade when they are exposed to UV rays for long periods. But using a UV resistant cleaner or protectant will help you keep this problem at bay for a long time. Carbon fiber exhaust systems are also cool to the touch even after a ride, thus making them safer for long term use.
