Pick Premium Exhaust Donuts for Smooth Engine Performance

Buying a new exhaust system can be one of the most exciting, and most cost-effective upgrades any auto enthusiast can make to their vehicle. But beyond remotely-controllable mufflers, masterfully crafted headers and flashy endtips, there are two far-less conspicuous exhaust components that need to be considered: bent tube sections and donuts.

Ask any exhaust system designer and they’ll tell you: the key to getting the best performance from an exhaust system isn’t in resorting to larger diameter tubes: it’s in maximising airflow. Every section of tubing, and every joint between those sections has to be optimised in order for exhaust gases to move as quickly and smoothly as possible. That’s why our tips for ensuring the best possible gas flow are centred on donuts and mandrel bent tubing.

Chevy Silverado: Parts to Boost Your Overland Performance

The Chevrolet Silverado is one of North America’s best-selling cars, taking second place in the US and sixth in Canada for overall vehicle sales for 2024. It’s a compelling buy, with heaps of power from turbocharged and aspirated gas or diesel engines, proven towing and hauling capabilities, and enough space and comfort features to please demanding buyers. And with different trims such as the Trail Boss versions geared toward off-roading use, they’re geared to heavy-duty use both on and off the asphalt.

The good news for all Silverado owners is that even in the base WT and Custom trims, there’s still tons of factory and aftermarket Chevy parts and accessories to upgrade your ride, especially for overlanding. For extended trips through remotes areas, parts like upgraded suspension, off-roading tires and additional lighting help Silverado clear obstacles, navigate unchartered trails and provide the visibility outside the city limits. With additions like roof racks and recovery gear, the truck can also provide the needed space for all necessary equipment and keep your peace of mind if you venture too far out into technical terrain.
