Construction & Design

The Armor Lite Turbo Back Exhaust System is constructed from heavy-duty aluminized steel, chosen for its excellent corrosion resistance and durability, particularly suited for dry climate conditions. The aluminized coating protects the steel from rust and damage caused by road debris, extending the life of the exhaust system significantly.

All tubing is mandrel bent, a manufacturing process that preserves the pipe’s internal diameter through bends, ensuring smooth exhaust flow and minimizing restrictions that can hinder engine performance. The system’s fully sealed design prevents leaks, maintaining consistent performance and reliability over time.

The single side exit not only provides a distinctive, aggressive look but also directs exhaust gases away from the rear of the vehicle, reducing cabin noise and enhancing safety.

This results in improved horsepower and torque delivery, sharper throttle response, and the potential for better fuel economy.
