Dual exhaust systems are associated with performance vehicles. Though these components can bring additional power, some are not authentic. Cars may have a single pipe for airflow, but use a Y-split near the back bumper to make it appear like it has two.Â
Legitimate dual exhaust systems allow the engine to breathe better by letting the gasses out of the cylinders faster, which, in turn, speeds up the combustion cycle. The auto typically has a catalytic converter and wider-than-normal tailpipes to prevent pressure from building up in any part of the powertrain. This helps to maximize performance and maintain a consistent power-band.Â
A well-engineered dual exhaust system can increase both efficiency and horsepower. Performance vehicles like the Dodge Challenger and Charger offer this type of feature; but, more unexpectedly, you can also find it on premium trims of some sedans, including the Chrysler 300. These rides are no longer intended solely for everyday commutes. They instead promise exceptional outputs, branding them ideal for work and play alike.Â
To find out which cars, SUVs, and trucks have the best dual exhaust systems, contact our Calgary, AB dealership today - and don't forget to schedule a test-drive in one of our available Dodge or Chrysler models as well.
Synthetic oil uses an artificial blend of chemicals to achieve the same lubricative properties as regular crude. The mixture usually includes altered petroleum products and other raw ingredients to optimize vehicle performance - something that proves crucial for those on Alberta work-sites. If their new RAM trucks fail to deliver seamless power, then all operations could be interrupted.Â
Here is why the synthetic option can be better than the regular variety for your next oil change - and why 1500, 2500, and 3500 drivers may find it invaluable on the job.Â
It doesn’t need to be changed as frequently.
You need to replace standard motor oil every 5,000-8,000 km (on average). This is because the lubricative properties break down, and the liquid can turn into sludge. Synthetic options, however, are resistant to this process, so they can last for 10,000-15,000 km - or even longer - without harming your engine.Â
Regular oil breaks down easily at higher temperatures.
If you leave your engine running (such as on a job site) or drive in warm conditions, synthetic lubrication will continue working, but crude could stop providing protection.Â
Synthetic products can also improve performance because of their superior lubricative properties. When it is time for an oil change, contact our Calgary service centre to discuss your options.
