Exhaust Service | LightHouse Automotive

Even the best-made vehicles have some room for improvement after they roll off the factory line. You may want to make various customizations to match your own taste and style. Or, you will want to consider custom performance upgrades to really get the most out of the vehicle.

One of the most popular aftermarket upgrades that serious car owners will consider is a custom exhaust system. It can improve performance and it certainly can add a lot of flair. Here are five reasons why you might want to have a custom exhaust system installed at LightHouse Automotive :

1. Engine Performance and Power

An aftermarket custom exhaust system can really unleash the full power of your car’s engine. By giving the exhaust gasses a more efficient escape route, your engine will be able to “breathe” easier. More fuel can air are then able to be burned within the engine, and thus more power is generated.

2. That Sound

We all know that sound. Whether it’s a guttural muscle car rumble or a throaty European sports car hum, you just want your car to sound great when driving down the road. A custom exhaust can give you the powerful sound you want to hear with endless options available.

3. The Look

Though other drivers may only see your tail pipe(s) or exhaust tips unless you have exposed manifolds, a new exhaust system can really amp up the style of your vehicle. Car enthusiasts will know when you have a custom exhaust because it’s just one more thing to make your ride look the best it can.

4. Fuel Economy

Many people don’t realize that a healthy exhaust system has a direct effect on fuel economy Some custom exhausts can actually give you better gas mileage. Of course, it’s also important to note that certain aftermarket exhaust components could actually reduce mileage as a trade-off for performance, style or sound upgrades.

5. One-of-a-Kind

Though you can install aftermarket components, most custom exhaust systems are exactly that. They are customized to your vehicle with unique pipe bends, brackets and performance tuning. This is where you want to work with a custom exhaust expert like LightHouse Automotive because they’ll help you put together the ideal exhaust system that will give you the look, feel, sound and performance you desire.
