Dual side exhaust

They are better as they use two pipes to expel the gas. They offer higher performance and make the sound better.

High-performance exhaust

They are best to offer the best performance. The system increases car efficiency, although it may be expensive. The system also expels and filters more gas.

Opposite the dual exhaust system

It is different from another dual exhaust system as it is bent in the wheels. The bend usually adds more space for filtering the gases.

Getting an aftermarket exhaust system is necessary as many car manufacturers usually aim at saving money for manufacturing hence building an inadequate exhaust system. The features of a sound exhaust system are

Diameter

The diameter is a vital aspect to consider. It varies for different types of cars. The smaller cars usually use small diameters and vice versa.

Sound
