The Advantages Of Purchasing Muffler Back Exhaust Systems & Kits

Upgrading your car (for example, Chevrolet, Ford, BMW, Subaru Legacy, and others), truck (such as Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra, Dodge Ram 1500, and more), or Jeep (like the Jeep Wrangler) with a muffler-back exhaust kit provides two main benefits. The first improvement is a noticeable increase in exhaust sound. The other advantage is the addition of horsepower and performance from a freer-flowing muffler and improved pipe routing.

Improves Exhaust Sound

The biggest change noticed when upgrading your vehicle with a muffler back exhaust system is the sound. Manufacturers modify the factory muffler baffle design, which alters the exhaust note and volume level. In nearly every application, this results in a louder and unique sound, which most people desire from their exhaust system.

Increases Horsepower And Performance

Aftermarket muffler-back performance exhaust systems (including muffler back dual exhaust kits) typically use larger pipe diameter with smoother bends. In addition, the muffler design is changed to reduce backpressure and exhaust restriction. This results in a more freer-flowing exhaust and improved horsepower and performance.

High performance exhaust systems are one of the most common upgrades an owner can make on their vehicle. It is important to understand what exhaust options are available and how to install a muffler-back system before making a purchase. To help you with your search, we have provided the below answers to common questions about muffler back exhaust kits.

What Is The Difference Between Muffler Back Systems And Other Exhaust Kits?

Muffler-back exhaust kits include all exhaust components and hardware needed to replace everything from the muffler to the end of the tailpipe. Below are comparisons between muffler-back and other exhaust options that are available for most applications:

Muffler back vs turbo back - turbo back systems include all exhaust components and hardware behind the turbocharger such as the downpipe, muffler, intermediate pipe(s), and tailpipe.

Muffler back vs cat back - cat-back kits contain everything behind the catalytic converter to complete an exhaust system. Cat-back exhaust kits are the most common system available for daily-driven cars and trucks (such as Chevy Silverado applications)

Muffler back vs axleback - axle-back kits can sometimes interchange with muffler back kits on late model vehicle applications. Axle back kits typically include over-axle pipes, the mufflers, and tailpipes. Since the muffler is often behind the rear axle, muffler-back and axle-back kits can be advertised with either description.

How Much To Put A Muffler Back On?

Depending on the muffler back exhaust kit and the application, the cost for installation will vary. Muffler-Back exhaust kits can range anywhere from around $300 to over $1800 depending on the build material (stainless steel or mild steel) and complexity of the components. Labor cost to install muffler back exhaust kits will also vary, depending on the amount of time needed and the hourly-rate the repair shop or garage charges.

How To Put Muffler Back On

Installation of a muffler back exhaust pipe kit begins by safely raising the vehicle high enough from the ground to provide room for the removal and installation of the exhaust system. Next, the new exhaust kit is opened, the instructions studied, and everything is confirmed present and correct to complete installation and prevent any surprises or delays due to incorrect or missing parts. The muffler and all exhaust components behind it are removed next by either unbolting, unclamping, or cutting. Next, any hangers or brackets are removed if not reused and the area prepped for installation of the new kit. The new muffler and pipes are then installed with the appropriate hangers, clamps, and hardware. Once installed and all connections checked. The vehicle is lowered back down and the engine started to confirm there are no leaks. The installation is then complete.
