Dear Robert,
I want to give my 2018 Nissan Titan some more power, so I’m thinking of fitting it with a performance exhaust system: do you think this is a good idea?
Thanks,
Mark
Hi, Mark!
Fitting a performance exhaust system to your 2018 Nissan Titan is certainly one way to give it more power: but only if you do it correctly.
Many people opt to fit clamp-on mufflers which I would not recommend. These are imitators and only serve to give your Titan a sporty look and sound. These components may even reduce your Titan’s power.
If you really want to increase your truck's performance, you need to replace the entire exhaust system with high-end parts. This includes everything between the muffler and the catalytic converter.
Bare in mind, environmental regulations mean that you cannot alter the catalytic converter itself.
High-performance aftermarket exhaust manufacturers often tout that their systems provide a 10% boost in horsepower. But you need to be aware that this is largely dependent on the condition of your vehicle.
Thanks for your question, Mark! Please don’t hesitate to contact Kirkland Nissan, Washington again if you need anything else.
