One of the best ways to give new life to your Holden Colorado is by upgrading its exhaust system. Aftermarket exhaust systems are a great way to give your vehicle more power, better fuel efficiency and improved sound quality. One of the most popular exhaust upgrades for the Colorado is an aftermarket turbo muffler. These exhaust systems come with a high-flow design that will increase horsepower and torque while reducing turbo lag time which results in quicker acceleration from a stop. The performance exhaust system also features a lifelong stainless steel construction that has been Teflon coated to reduce corrosion and rust resistance. This upgrade comes with a lifetime warranty and includes all necessary installation components.
The benefits of an aftermarket Colorado exhaust system are endless. Not only will your vehicle gain more horsepower and torque, but it will also sound better than ever before. Aftermarket exhaust systems are generally made from stainless steel which not only makes them look great, but also durable enough to withstand harsh weather conditions. This performance exhaust system comes with all the necessary installation components as well as an easy-to-follow installation manual.
With this upgrade not only does your vehicle gain horsepower, torque and sound quality, but it will also be more aesthetically pleasing. The exhaust system comes with a brushed stainless steel muffler body with black powder coating that will make your vehicle stand out from others.

Parts of an Aftermarket Colorado Exhaust
Aftermarket exhaust systems generally consist of the following parts:
An exhaust manifold, which is the part that connects the cylinder head to the exhaust pipe. An exhaust pipe, which transfers exhaust gas from the engine to the catalytic converter (or muffler).
A turbocharger is a device that assists in increasing engine power by forcing extra air into the combustion chamber. A muffler, which reduces the noise level of an engine’s exhaust note. An oxygen sensor monitors the amount of oxygen in the exhaust and relays this information to the ECU.
Aftermarket exhaust systems are a great way to improve your vehicle’s fuel economy as well as its power output. A high-performance exhaust system will not only give you more horsepower, but it can also help reduce the amount of gas that you spend on every mile driven by up to 20 per cent.
Types of Exhaust Kits
There are axle-back, cat-back and header-back exhaust systems which all have their own unique benefits and features.
An axle-back exhaust system is a performance exhaust upgrade that replaces the entire centre section of your vehicle’s factory exhaust. This type of exhaust system tends to be much cheaper than other types and offers great fuel efficiency.
A cat-back exhaust system is a performance exhaust upgrade that replaces just the rear section of your vehicle’s factory exhaust system. These systems are usually priced lower than header-back and offer better fuel economy than header-back systems.
A header-back exhaust system is a performance exhaust upgrade that replaces the entire front section of your vehicle’s factory exhaust. Header-back systems are usually more expensive than both cat-back and axle-back systems, but they offer greater horsepower gains than both types.
Pipe Bending Techniques
Aftermarket exhausts can be either straight through or mandrel bent. Crush-bent systems are generally cheaper than the mandrel bent, but they do not offer as much gain in power or increased fuel efficiency. Mandrel-bent exhaust systems are more expensive than crush-bent, but they offer better performance gains and fuel efficiency. This is a result of the advanced technology used in the manufacturing process, which is more expensive.
Types of Exhaust Systems
There are three main types of aftermarket exhaust systems: stock replacement (or bolt-on), mid-range and high performance. A stock replacement system is the least expensive type of exhaust upgrade and only offers slight increases in horsepower over stock. These systems are typically made from stainless steel and do not come with any extra features or benefits that other upgrades provide.
A mid-range exhaust system is a performance exhaust upgrade that offers better fuel efficiency and more power than stock replacements. These systems are usually made from stainless steel, but they do come with some additional features such as a muffler and turbo clamps.
A high-performance exhaust system is the most expensive type of exhaust upgrade and offers noticeable improvements in horsepower and torque over stock replacement and mid-range systems. These systems are generally made from stainless steel or aluminium, but they do come with many added benefits such as improved fuel economy, increased power, better sound quality and reduced back pressure.
These systems are made from stainless steel or aluminium and come with many benefits such as improved sound quality, greater durability and added horsepower. An aftermarket turbo muffler comes with all the necessary installation components so you can do the work yourself at home without having to pay for professional installation.
