What are the primary benefits of upgrading my vehicle's exhaust system?

Upgrading your exhaust system boosts engine performance with more horsepower and torque, improves fuel efficiency, and adds a bold sound and custom look. It's a smart first step to enhance your vehicle's power and presence.

What role do catalytic converters play in an exhaust system?

Catalytic converters are essential for reducing harmful emissions, converting pollutants into less toxic gases. Required by law in most areas, they help your vehicle pass emissions tests and stay road-legal.

Why would I need a CARB compliant catalytic converter?

If your vehicle is registered in California or states with similar emissions laws, you must use a CARB-compliant catalytic converter. These meet stricter standards than EPA versions. HottExhaust offers a wide selection to keep your vehicle fully compliant.

How can I tell if my vehicle's exhaust system or catalytic converter needs replacing? 

Common indicators that your exhaust system or catalytic converter might need attention include:

• An unusually loud exhaust noise, hissing, or rattling sounds, which could indicate a leak or loose component.
• A noticeable drop in engine power or acceleration.
• Reduced fuel efficiency.
• A rotten egg smell from the exhaust, often pointing to a failing catalytic converter.
• The illumination of your "Check Engine" light, possibly with codes related to the exhaust or catalyst efficiency. If you experience any of these, it's advisable to have your exhausts inspected promptly.

Does installing a new exhaust system affect my vehicle's warranty?

Aftermarket exhaust parts won’t void your factory warranty unless they directly cause a failure. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act protects you, but it’s best to check your warranty terms or consult your dealer.
