Twin-Pipe Exhaust on an e39 M5

Normally, Cars or trucks only have a single exhaust. However, owners have the option to upgrade their vehicles by doing a few modifications to the engine. One of the most popular of these customizations is installing a Dual Exhaust System.

First, let me define what an Exhaust System is. Technically, an exhaust system is a set of pipes that carry engine exhaust away from the engine, as well as dispersing it into the atmosphere. So, when we speak of dual exhaust,  it means that the system includes two pipes responsible for directing the gas away from the engine.

Generally, setting up a Dual Exhaust System has a lot of benefits. It provides many improvements in the vehicle’s performance, sound quality, reduction in pollution, and remarkably, it adds to the vehicle’s longevity.  Aside from these, below are the major factors why vehicle owners are encouraged to use the Dual Exhaust System:

The engine of a vehicle will become more efficient and its horsepower will increase. This will enhance the towing ability of the vehicle to bear more weight. Also, the use of a double exhaust system allows the engine of the vehicle to reach its peak performance in seconds because there will be more oxygen to be brought in due to its fast funneling of gases away from the engine.

It enables the vehicle to produce a low, pleasing sound which is easily noticed when traveling in the streets, making the vehicle a head turner.

The use of  Dual Exhaust System also helps the vehicle owner save money because with its presence, there is a reduction in fuel  consumption. It is for this reason that the engine  is not pushed to work hard in emitting gases, as well as in letting fresh air to enter. Thus, this allows the engine to make better use of power, producing more energy and making the fuel maintenance of the vehicle more economical.

More importantly, it is proven that a Dual Exhaust System makes the life span of vehicles longer, allowing them to run in the street for more years.

Dual Exhaust Systems also prevent the vehicle‘s engine from overheating because they keep the engine cool thus keeping the temperature low.
