Exhaust Turndowns, Tailpipes & Turndown Exhaust Tips

Exhaust turndowns direct the exhaust to the end of the tail pipe either at the ground or out and away from the vehicle. This changes the direction of both noise and noxious and hazardous exhaust gases. Exhaust turndowns are available in 2 1/2 inch, 3 inch, 4 inch, 5 inch, as well as other sizes. Exhaust turndowns either are available as a clamp on or weld on design.

In general, 150-200 degrees Fahrenheit is the average temperature of a turndown exhaust tip at the tailpipe. However, there are many variables involved to affect the temperature, including the length of the exhaust, what kind of exhaust system components are installed (i.e. catalytic converters, mufflers, resonators, muffled exhaust tip etc.), as well as the outside air temperature.

Cleaning exhaust tailpipes includes both mechanical and chemical restoration. The first step is to use warm water with mild detergent and a non-abrasive sponge or soft brush. A mild chemical degreaser can also be used after testing in an area not visible to confirm it will not damage the finish. Continue to brush or chemically clean the exhaust tailpipe until dirt and corrosion no longer separate from it.
