Garage Kite Exhaust Manifold

People change their exhaust manifolds to an aftermarket version in a Honda or Acura NSX for several reasons, including:

1. Performance gains: Aftermarket exhaust manifolds are often designed to improve the flow of exhaust gases out of the engine, which can increase horsepower and torque.
2. Improved sound: Many aftermarket exhaust manifolds are designed to produce a more aggressive and sporty exhaust note, which can enhance the driving experience.
3. Weight savings: Some aftermarket exhaust manifolds are made of lightweight materials such as titanium or stainless steel, which can reduce the weight of the car, improving performance and handling.
4. Durability: OEM exhaust manifolds can rust over time and may need to be replaced, aftermarket exhaust manifolds are often made of more durable materials and can last longer.
5. Aesthetics: Some aftermarket exhaust manifolds are designed to improve the appearance of the car, giving it a sportier and more aggressive look.

It’s important to note that changing the exhaust manifold can have an impact on the car’s emissions and it’s also important to check local laws and regulations regarding exhaust systems before making any modifications. It’s best to consult a professional mechanic or tuner for recommendations and installation.
