Zoom-zooming like Marauding Buffaloes

If you own a Wrangler, you have probably breezed through an idea that not all that is gold glitters. After braving one nasty trail to the next, the Wrangler may be caked with mud but, as you have certainly found out, it is far from performing as poorly as it looks dirty. Wrangler takes pride in its trail rated vehicles. And, if it is any indication, Wrangler jeeps with names like Rubicon, Sport, and Unlimited are manufactured with exactly the roughest of trail conditions in mind.
Like the Wrangler, Borla exhausts are crafted with reliability in mind. Sporting an aircraft grade T-304 stainless steel finish, Borla exhaust features durability on the trail. It resists road salt and debris and keeps in step with the trail rated Wrangler. And, if the T-304 stainless finish of the Borla exhaust does not sound convincing, wait until you fit one into your Wrangler and hear it go zoom zooming like marauding buffaloes.
Designed for performance vehicles, the Borla exhaust system boasts of being not merely a collection of pipes where fumes flow before they are emitted into the air. More importantly, Borla exhausts are engineered with great specs and components allowing the engine to work on its maximum potential and the fumes becoming less toxic.
A critical part in the exhaust process of the Borla exhaust system is the manifold. This is where the combustion fumes get accumulated before ushering them out into the exhaust pipes. But, because cylinders in a combustion engine do not fire up simultaneously, fumes may enter the manifold at different intervals and, if not pushed out to the tailpipe efficiently, may accumulate in the manifold.
Exhaust buildup results in the power-curbing back pressure, hindering the engine to maximize its performance. One way that the Borla exhaust system optimizes the exhaust rate is through its efficiency designed manifold that allows for easy flow of the fumes. And, since performance engine like that of the Wrangler operates surgically and extra hard to deliver power, it is but imperative to complement it with a similarly precision designed exhaust system.
Header pipes, a specialized exhaust manifold, offer a hardworking exhaust assembly. Through the separate mini exhaust vents earmarked for individual cylinders of a multivalve engine, the risk of the performance mulcting back pressure buildup may be put on the back burner of your trail-driving expedition.
These fumes, which usually leave the manifold or the header in the forms of hydrocarbon and nitrogen oxide, can then be turned into less toxic substances when they reach the catalytic converter. The unburnt hydrocarbons are turned into carbon dioxide and water, the nitrogen oxides into nitrogen and oxygen, through a process called oxidation.
Trail driving is difficult enough and may get you white knuckled. The prospect of hard driving on account of back pressure buildup inside an inefficient exhaust system is most unwelcome. And, of course, nobody wants to get stalled in back roads. Borla's steel shell makes sure that the individual pipes and manifold of the exhaust system can bear not only the brunt of Wrangler's exhaust, but the rot and rust and other hazards that car exterior parts encounter.
