What are the Different Types of Exhaust Clamps?
What is an Exhaust Clamp?An exhaust clamp is nothing but a metal object that is used to hold and firmly fasten the exhaust, muffler parts. You fit an exhaust clamp around the exhaust pipe.There are multiple types of clamps:Band clampU-bolt clampV-band clampT-Bolt clampBand ClampA band clamp is considered to be the most useful type of exhaust clamp. It can be either a flat metal strap or ring-shaped. In terms of usability and sizes, the band clamp offers the most versatility among all other types

What Types of Metals Are Used in Exhaust Applications?
There are a number of materials used in heavy duty exhaust
applications. Some of the materials are appropriate for heavy duty
applications. Other choices are not durable at the temperatures generated by
gas and diesel engines and should be avoided if acceptable service life is
desired. Materials selected must not only survive high temperatures, but also
severe vibration, corrosive exhaust gasses, and external corroding agents such
as salt and water.The materials generally considered for ex

What is Backpressure
Backpressure
A key performance factor
in selecting the proper
muffler is backpressure. For
the most efficient engine
performance it is important to
apply a muffler that minimizes
backpressure. Backpressure is the force
necessary to flow gasses
through the Exhaust system, or
the resistance to exhaust flow. System considerations include
friction and momentum effects - expansion / contraction /
elbows, and velocity head loss at outlet.
To minimize backpressure, long tube lengths,
