Once the combustion process is complete, hazardous smoke is produced as a byproduct of the combustion and needs to be quickly expelled out of the engine for more oxygen to flow in. A car exhaust helps to redirect and eject all the smoke produced from the engine to the outside of the car, and the cycle continues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read More: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/item\/carsome-my-news-item-changing-your-car-engine-in-malaysia\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Switching up Your Car Engine: Can You Do it in Malaysia Legally?<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.walkerexhaust.com\/support\/exhaust-101\/what-parts-make-up-the-exhaust-system.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Components of a Car Exhaust<\/span><\/a><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exhaust Manifold<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-29217\" src=\"https:\/\/carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/GettyImages-183426130.jpg\" alt=\"Car Exhaust Manifold\" width=\"2124\" height=\"1411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/GettyImages-183426130.jpg 2124w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/GettyImages-183426130-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/GettyImages-183426130-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/GettyImages-183426130-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/GettyImages-183426130-1536x1020.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/GettyImages-183426130-2048x1361.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/GettyImages-183426130-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/GettyImages-183426130-696x462.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/GettyImages-183426130-1068x709.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/GettyImages-183426130-1920x1275.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2124px) 100vw, 2124px\" \/>If you get to see a car\u2019s engine bay up close, you\u2019ll notice this large pitchfork-shaped tube connected to the cylinders inside the engine.

But, an exhaust upgrade alone won\u2019t just cut it if you\u2019re chasing horsepower. Adding bigger pipes to your system allows the engine to maximize airflow and expel fumes generated by the process of fuel combustion. Generally, factory exhausts come with restrictive, narrow pipelines. Often, these are made in poor or standard quality and are highly restrictive of airflow and noise.

If your car has a dual-tipped exhaust, look down the undercarriage and you may find it comes with two. These are the \u201csnots\u201d inside your exhaust system and your engine is the lungs. By opting out of the factory catalytic converter, and muffler and reinforcing the exhaust manifold, your vehicle is going to sing like an orchestra on the road.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Improve the sound of your engine for that race car feel<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-29215\" src=\"https:\/\/carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/GettyImages-157187460-scaled-2.jpg\" alt=\"Car Exhaust upgrade for dummies\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" \/>Generally, plenty of inexperienced car owners or ricers (Radically Immature Car Enthusiasts) would just slap on a straight-pipe exhaust on their stock engines and proceed to call it a day. If you have been to enough car gatherings, you can tell which car owner is an experienced tuner or not judging by their exhaust of choice. A well-tuned car exhaust system would sound like a throaty roar that resonates with the corresponding modifications done to it, not like a fart can.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=COSdZhr_9vs<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Laws on Car Exhausts<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.malaysiakini.com\/letters\/563996\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-29246\" src=\"https:\/\/carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Infographic.jpg\" alt=\"Infographic on loud Car Exhaust Laws in Malaysia\" width=\"1964\" height=\"2048\" \/>In Malaysia<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, all vehicles are bound Under Rule 103 of the Motor Vehicles (Construction and Use) Rules 1959 (LN 170\/1959), it is an offense for owners to modify the exhaust pipe and silencer to generate a louder sound that may delight the driver but is a nuisance to others. Offenders when caught can potentially face up to an RM2,000 fine and\/or be jailed for six months.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpj.gov.my\/en\/web\/main-site\/undang-undang-en\/-\/knowledge_base\/law\/procedures-of-seized-vehicles#:~:text=Under%20Section%2064%20(1)%20of,or%20halting%20a%20continuous%20offence.&amp;text=Impounded%20vehicles%20that%20have%20been,The%20registered%20owner\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Under Section 64 (1)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of the 1987 Road Transportation Act, a Road Transportation Officer can impound a vehicle for the purposes of identifying the operator, the vehicle, or halting a continuous offense.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, enforcement of these laws has the same consistency as a working Slurpee Machine from 7-Eleven which is why all the Ali, Muthu, and Ah Bengs with loud exhausts are still out there.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bonus: Consider a Valvetronic Exhaust if You\u2019re Still Adamant about That Race Car Feel<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re still looking to get an exhaust upgrade and play safe within the confines of the law, why not consider a Valvetronic Exhaust? For the uninitiated, a Valvetronic Exhaust is a motorized vacuum pump that is installed where the Car Exhaust Resonator would be. This allows your car to be <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.armytrixusa.com\/blog\/armytrix-valvetronic-how-it-works-brief-overview\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">loud or quiet at will<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with a flip of a switch or a remote when necessary and adds power too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This video below will explain in further detail the types of Valvetronic Exhausts out in the aftermarket.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=AEX6KwRqafQ<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To conclude, while exhaust modification can be a cheap and quick way to add horsepower, we urge our readers to do proper research on the right parts to buy. In addition, we strongly advise doing it within the confines of the law and being considerate to your neighbors and surroundings.
