Alex and his team have done an amazing job at fault finding my LC200 with a air bleed down fault. Found the issues and fixed it in a fast turnaround. Also cleaned the intake manifold and installed my HPD intercooler. Top job.

Professional service providing excellent results at a better dollar value than their competitors with better results. Ricky at Elite Tune did a fantastic job with a 40% HP gain with a stage 2 tune on my Hilux and sorted a few other issues in the process. Highly recommend, 5 stars for sure 👌

From the first phone call talking about my DPF and couple other niggle issues, through to picking it up all fixed and tuned...great customer service.Very happy with the gains and power/torque delivery smoothness for my grand cherokee turbo diesel. They knew what I wanted and delivered. Bum-o-metre and graphs prove the promise. Would recommend and great coffee shop 2 doors down.

The team at Elite Tune delivered an outstanding service above and beyond my expectations. My Pajero Sport doesn't just look good with a new bull bar but has a lot more power after fitting a new exhaust, snorkle, an ECU remap and a dyno tune. The quality of the workmanship was outstanding.

If the tune and exhaust fitting was an A+ standard worth 5 star, the service was phenomenal. Highly recommend and would definitely use in the future. Our Ute tows the 21ft family caravan like a dream, even the wife is happy to take a turn.

The Benefits of Performance Exhaust Upgrades

  • Improved Engine Efficiency: Creates a more efficient path for gases to escape, allowing your engine to “breathe” better and addressing issues like sputtering.
  • Increased Power: Burns more fuel and air, resulting in more power for your vehicle.
  • Enhanced Sound: Produces a louder, deeper growl, giving your vehicle a powerful sound.
  • Optimized Airflow: Replaces pipes to create a more direct pathway for airflow.
  • Durability: Replaces the exhaust system with a sturdier one that won’t break down as quickly.

Single Vs Dual Exhaust Systems

A 4×4 can come with either a single or dual exhaust system when you pick it up from the factory. When you’re headed in for an upgrade, you may wonder what the difference is between the two and whether or not you should switch to one or the other. To help you make the decision, let’s go over the pros and cons of each.

Single Exhaust

Pros & Cons of Single Exhausts

Pros
  • A single exhaust system is quieter than a dual exhaust system.
  • Single exhausts are more affordable.
  • A single exhaust is lighter, so this is a great option if you’re concerned about the weight of your vehicle.
Cons
  • A single exhaust produces less power.
  • A single exhaust doesn’t perform as well as a dual exhaust.
Dual Exhaust

Pros & Cons of Dual Exhausts

Pros
  • A dual exhaust system produces more power.
  • You’ll have reduced back pressure with a dual system.
  • The dual system is louder and has a more powerful look to it.
  • Dual exhausts keep turbocharged systems cool.
Cons
  • A dual exhaust system will be more expensive.
  • Dual exhaust systems often don’t last as long as their single exhaust counterparts.

Stock Vs Custom Performance Exhaust Systems

When it comes to an exhaust system, there’s the factory model and the aftermarket upgrade option.

The main difference between stock and aftermarket exhaust systems is that aftermarket systems allow you to customise your exhaust for your specific needs. Whether you’re a weekend adventurer, or just want a little more power, you can benefit from an upgraded system.

  • Aftermarket systems are considered “better made” than what comes installed at the factory.
  • Aftermarket systems allow you to remove speed restrictions.
  • The pipes in an aftermarket system are larger, allowing more air to flow through.
  • You’ll have more horsepower with an aftermarket system than a stock system.
  • Because stock systems come standard, they have no customisations like what you can find on the aftermarket.

FAQs

What does upgrading the exhaust system do?

Upgrading your exhaust system helps the engine breathe well by creating an easy and better pathway for gases to escape. This, in turn, makes the engine perform better than before. By pairing a cold intake and a new exhaust system, you allow the engine to breathe as well as possible, giving you maximum power. It will also help lower fuel consumption since your car will need less fuel to perform if it breathes well.

Even though the exhaust is more than just the sound, upgrading your system gives you the best sound, which is also beneficial. The upgrade allows you to be heard as you drive down the street and have a note that turns people's heads whenever you pass because your car sounds like a race car.

Does changing the exhaust affect the engine?

An old exhaust system can affect your engine in many ways; therefore, changing it will affect it. The exhaust system is a vital system to the engine. Changing your exhaust allows the engine to function better by improving the exhaust system's performance. Changing the exhaust ensures an efficient and better path for the gases to escape more quickly.

The engine will have more power since it breathes better than before. The car function will then increase everything related to the engine's performance, including noise, horsepower, and torque. A new exhaust can also affect the engine's performance by making it work harder by increasing the back pressure, which builds up gases.

Why do you need to modify the exhaust system?

If you are working with an old exhaust system, you may experience problems with your car's performance and the engine. You need to modify your exhaust system if you notice signs of rust or splitting on the exhaust itself, louder engine noise than usual and if your car suddenly starts consuming more fuel than before.

Whether your car has one or all these signs, it is time you start thinking about modifying your system. Exhaust system modification promotes the better performance of the engine and climate change reduction. The modification will also help you save on fuel consumption, especially if your exhaust was experiencing a fuel leak that increased its consumption. Lastly, you can modify your exhaust system to increase the value of your car.

What makes up the exhaust system?

As a car owner, you must have some basic knowledge about what is an exhaust system and the various components that make up the system. An exhaust system is usually a piping system that conveys burnt reaction gases away from the engine or stove. The systems may be a bit different depending on the overall system design, but it generally includes the following components.

The first component is an exhaust manifold that connects to each exhaust port on the cylinder head. Its function is to channel the hot exhausts to the exhaust pipe and prevent the fumes from sipping through into the vehicle. Next is the catalytic converter that catalyzes the toxic gas into fewer pollutants in a redox reaction. A turbo changer also forces extra compressed air into the combustion chamber to increase the internal combustion engine's power output and efficiency. Lastly is the muffler, which redirects the airflow to eliminate noise.

Does a loud exhaust use more fuel?

There is no correlation between a loud exhaust and fuel consumption, and therefore it does not mean more fuel. Your car engine generates noise by creating combustion to deliver power, and the muffler then reduces the noise in the exhaust system. The noise produced depends on the type of the muffler. The noise is output from consumption and not the other way round; therefore no correlation whatsoever with fuel consumption. This means a car can have loud exhaust noise with bad fuel consumption or loud noise but with good fuel consumption.
