Comparison Between Mach5 Performance Ceramic Insulation Solution and Non-Insulated Systems
Real-World Exhaust Heat Testing: Comparing Mach5 Performance’s Ceramic Insulation Solution with Non-Insulated Systems
Temperature Requirements for Exhaust Backfire and Combustion Efficiency
Ceramic-insulated exhausts retain heat to ignite unburned fuel, creating backfire sounds and boosting engine performance while ensuring durability under extreme conditions.
Potential Smoking Issue During the First Use of Ceramic Insulated Aftermarket Exhaust Systems
Slight smoking during the first use of ceramic-insulated exhausts is normal, part of the curing process, and does not impact safety or performance.
