As the years go on, even your favorite vintage car starts to suffer from drops in overall efficiency regardless of how clean you keep the interior and exterior. To fight off these effects, it is a good idea to bring it in to Dualtone in San Diego for regular inspections and for any repair work to be done quickly. Safety risks start to emerge if action is not taken, as an old and cracking exhaust manifold can potentially cause toxic fumes to leak into the vehicle cabin. One main indication that this is taking place is that you will notice a considerable increase in the noise you hear coming from the engine. An exhaust manifold replacement is also a great way to get your classic car back to the best possible level of efficiency.

In addition to improving acceleration and power, making the decision to replace your vehicle’s exhaust manifold also helps your wallet with better gas mileage and an engine that runs cooler. Having this kind of repair work and maintenance done is especially crucial for the longevity of cars that have engines running on four, six or eight cylinders because the stock parts tend to actually inhibit efficiency and lead to poor performance. A replacement manifold is designed with durability in mind, as they are built to withstand the vibrations created by diesel engines as well as single and twin turbochargers.
