Upgrading your exhaust is an important part of getting more power out of your vehicle. It doesn’t matter if the upgrade is strictly meant for a more enjoyable drive when you take it out to cruise or if it’s aimed at track performance, every build that aims to enhance power out of the engine eventually needs to grapple with the exhaust, and a Hooker exhaust upgrade is often the most attractive way to do that.
Exhaust Flow and Power Output
While it’s true that your exhaust system does not directly contribute to your engine’s power output, it still plays a big role even if it is an indirect one. Bringing fresh air into the engine is only partially about your intake. You also need exhaust to exit the engine compartment to make room for that air to come in, and the flow of exhaust out limits the airflow in even when you have an expanded intake.
That means you will not realize the full potential of upgrades like a Holley Sniper EFI with a stock exhaust setup. You’ll see some gains, but to get the best performance out of your other upgrades, you need a performance exhaust system that makes it easier to push air through the engine.
Hooker Exhaust
Hooker has become one of the top names in performance upgrades because of the company’s long tube header design that simplifies the process of upgrading to a performance exhaust setup while providing a kit that is widely compatible. The long tube header design works well across vehicle designs because it is cut to fit, in addition to being a weld-up design with a straightforward approach to placement. That means you do not need to worry about getting the right tube length because you will trim the tubes to the vehicle’s size.
