240SX Exhaust

The exhausts system of your Nissan 240SX is among the systems that has received great innovations over the years. Although it usually is subordinate in importance when compared to the braking system or the suspension system,  cat-back system is still among the aspects that receive frequent upgrades. That's basically because of the need for a cleaner emission, which only a high-performance kit or upgrade of the factory system is the most effective solution. This system is made up of various parts - the exhaust manifold, the catalytic converter, the exhaust pipe, the muffler, and the exhaust tip. These are the components that handle the exhaust gases from the moment the gases leave the engine until the time they are delivered into the outside environment.

If you still have a stock manifold in your car, then you never know how much power your engine is losing just because of backpressure. Upgrading with a high-performance Nissan 240SX headers will best that can be done. Searching for the perfect product for your car is easy with the wide selection of headers offered in online stores. They come in various sizes and shapes and are of high quality for a lasting and a reliable service.

What's Legal

In the good but smoggy old days before emissions standards, you could freely modify your exhaust, as long as the local constabulary didn't object to the noise. A tuned exhaust, along with a bigger carburetor, high-flow intake manifold and high-lift, long-duration camshaft, increased the amount of air and fuel available to the engine—voilà, more power. Times have changed. And California's strict smog regulations have influenced the nation. Aftermarket speed parts built for newer vehicles are almost all 49-state-compliant. In the Golden State, they must pass stricter California Air Resources Board (CARB) standards. So, unless you own a smog-exempt car (1975 or older in California), it's verboten to modify anything that might change the emissions profile. And that's why the most common exhaust modification is a cat-back system.
