Different Types of Exhaust Tubing

Did you know that you can spend as little as 225 dollars to get your exhaust upgraded? and that premium exhaust upgrades can cost as much as 2000 dollars for the parts alone?

Upgrading an exhaust system is by far one of the easiest and most simple ways of adding horsepower to your vehicle. Whether you’re racing down the track or a highway, the right exhaust tubing will help you achieve top performance.

Read on below for your choices in exhaust tubing!

Stainless Steel Exhaust Tubing

Probably the best type of exhaust tubing you can get is made out of stainless steel. Stainless steel is incredibly lightweight, saving your vehicle much-needed weight and improving your power to weight ratio.

Exhaust parts made from stainless are resistant to rust but can rust over time and in cold countries where salt is used on the road to combat ice. Stainless steel is also the most expensive choice and can’t be welded or bent as easily as other exhaust applicable metals but is very easy to manufacture for metal companies.

Mild Steel

For a long time, mild steel was the only type of metal available and very popular with exhaust systems as it is lightweight, easy to weld, and can be bent into different shapes easily. As technology has advanced, people have moved away from mild steel as it rusts pretty quickly and has a short lifespan compared to other types of steel.

Mild steel can’t withstand lots of heat and will fail at higher temperatures than engines produced especially in the racing game, where engines do burn hotter than your average run around.

Aluminum Exhaust Tubing

Aluminum is one up from mild steel in terms of cost. Aluminum is very lightweight, thus making it a popular choice in the modification world. Aluminum has low strength and because of that, it is combined with other types of steel to complete the exhaust system.

Generally speaking, only the muffler is traditionally made out of aluminum and the rest of the exhaust is made out of different steel.

Titanium Tubing

By far the most expensive exhaust tubing you get is made out of titanium. The low weight, resistance to high heat, and extremely high durability make titanium exhausts the most expensive exhaust on the market.

A titanium exhaust will last you a lifetime, the only downside being is the high cost of materials, people’s ability to work with the material, and the limited amount that is available on the open market. If you are able to get your hands on one, it will be well worth it in the long run.

Improve The Power

When it comes to horsepower and making the most out of your engine, upgrading your exhaust system and finding the right exhaust tubing material should be priority number one. All these metals have their own advantages and disadvantages and it’s up to you to decide which one suits you best.
