Corvette Exhaust

Corvette Power

As Americans some time in our lives we will not be happy with either our weight or out fitness levels, leading us to diet or buy a gym membership.  That lasts for maybe a couple of months and then we get bored and want to change things up.  For most of us during this step we quit and have to start over.  Too bad there isn't something that can just be plugged in and work all the time.  The same scenario can be used for car owners for example Corvette owners.  The Chevrolet Corvette comes with more than enough power to become infatuated.  Over time the car is still performing the same but your expectations begin to rise and you become accustomed to what you've got.  You find yourself wanting more because the endorphin levels are not peaking anymore.  Fortunately there is always a gym ready to provide a membership.

There are three simple ways to increase the power of a Corvette.  Some of the applications will be a quick 10 minute setup and be handheld and others may stretch the length of the Corvette.  Starting with the smallest and working to the largest.  Anyone of these three options will increase the power of the Corvette and very likely improve the gas mileage as long as you aren't running from the cops.

The smallest and the easiest way to increase the efficiency of a Corvette is by installing a Performance Chip or Tuner.  Performance Chips and Tuners reprogram the internal computer.  The stock programming works fine but by changing just of few of the parameters it can become even more efficient, thus able to squeeze out more power and better fuel economy out of every molecule of fuel.  Performance Chips and Tuners will increase the horsepower by anywhere from 20 horsepower or more depending on which motor you have and roughly the same amount of Torque. The more power you have stock, the bigger the gains you tend to get.  The gas mileage typically goes up by about 1-3 miles per gallon when you're in a conservative driving mood.  And the best thing about Performance Chips and Tuners for a Corvette they only take 10 minutes to install.

The second improvement is under the hood, Cold Air Intakes.  Have you ever participated in a race and ended up hunched over with your hands on your knees gasping for air?  If you haven't, you are obviously in better shape than the average person.  Good for you.  The feeling can be one of the worst feelings in the world.  We feel like our mouth is not big enough to get enough air into our lungs.  Engines are the same way.  The stock intakes get just enough air in to start the race but towards the end it starts huffing a puffing needing more.  We can't make our mouths any bigger but we can make the opening for the air larger.  With a larger intake with a high flow conical filter that has more surface area to pull air through, the more air will reach the engine causing it to perform at maximum levels.  These will take around 30 to 40 minutes to install and will give about another 15 to 25 horsepower. Other benefits are, again, better fuel economy while driving conservatively, and more of a growl to the engine. Not to mention you can actually hear the engine sucking air.

The third and final may be the most intriguing.  Performance Exhaust systems really add something to the Corvettes that don't come with most of them.  I have seen many Corvettes on the road that look so sweet until you look at the black exhaust pipes coming out of the back.  Almost all Performance Exhaust systems come with a mirror finish that shines very brightly.  These systems also allow the Corvette to be heard.  Lets face people already turn their heads when they see you coming, what's even better though is when you see them start looking for you because they could tell something mean was on its way down the road.  Performance Exhaust systems will also do more than just add some curb appeal.  A few extra horses and a couple miles per gallon will take you a long way.
