How to Choose an Exhaust Elbow

When people talk about a vehicle’s exhaust system, the first thing that comes to mind is probably the muffler since it is external and thus very visible. However, the muffler is only the end point of the exhaust system, and harmful gases like carbon monoxide must first pass through components like the exhaust elbow.

As the name suggests, exhaust elbows were designed to link two exhaust pipes. Like any car part though, your exhaust elbow will wear out over time and need replacement. When this time comes, do you know how to find a suitable replacement?

To begin with, find out your exhaust system’s diameter so you can get a new elbow that fits like a glove. Then, look at the parts that the elbow will connect. How far apart are they? After determining the distance, you also have to figure out the correct angle. If you’re unsure about these specifications, you can always bring your vehicle to a mechanic or ask a car parts dealer for the best replacement option.

One note, though: some car owners use a flexible tubing to bridge the gap between two exhaust pipes. While these tubes do bend to the desired shape and angle, an exhaust elbow is still the best option because it is stationary and thus more stable.

Upgrade Your Trucks with LED Trailer Lights for Energy Efficiency

"Some lighting manufacturers have been successful with their LED systems and are now being tapped to do custom fixtures for a number of truck manufacturers like Volvo. The new lights’ housings are essentially the same as the OEM units, except for the LED light arrangement and the associated circuitry. A stock headlamp may have a single halogen bulb with beam angle support, while an LED headlamp might sport several LEDs of lower voltage but have better luminescence when combined. The LED array for a truck does not necessarily have to be limited to the front. Aside from the trailer lights, you may add new LED marker lights to the trailer. However, you can consider enlisting an auto electrician to reconcile the voltage issues and heat shrink, as well as to properly link the lighting and brakes with the truck."

Using Quality Flexible Exhaust Tubing to Lower Emissions from Trucks

"Some truck buyers turn to late-model low-mileage used trucks, which are cheaper than new ones, as temporary units. Others can upgrade their current trucks with better engines and quality flexible exhaust tubing from truck parts retailers like Global Parts Inc. To ensure compliance with emission laws, truck owners should look at which devices need replacing. In older trucks, the engine is often linked to the catalytic converter, the muffler, and the exhaust port. New regulations require installing particulate filters between the engine and the muffler."

Off-Road Driving Basics

Off-roading is an exhilarating adventure for adrenaline junkies who want to push the limits of what their four-wheel drive vehicles can do. Some do it to enjoy the natural scenery, while some take pride in overcoming the challenges presented by unpaved grounds. Off-roading, no matter where it's done, is an exciting pastime as long as you're prepared and equipped for utmost safety.

Off-roaders usually engage their four-wheel drive jeeps and pick-up trucks in the natural terrain, where several bumps and humps show themselves off the beaten path. Whether on the trail, sand, or mud, always check and prepare your vehicle for surprising elements. Don't attempt to rush into steep climbs, descents or water crossings when your vehicle is not fully equipped with the proper gear, or risk damaging your precious adventure carrier.

Never forget to inspect your engine: it should be mechanically sound and easy to operate. Listen to it carefully and look out for any abnormal sounds of distress. If you're going to do dirt hill climbs and some downed trees for fun, don't forget to equip your vehicle with sturdy off-road wheels and to bring spare tires. Make sure that you attach a strong front skid plate to prevent damage on the underside of your vehicle.

Lastly, find a local 4x4 club who have members to help you set up your vehicle in great shape for more adventures. You can meet and learn more from people who share your interest and passion for extreme adrenaline rush and adventure.
