De Graaf Exhaust: Enhance your vehicles performance Why change a perfectly good working standard exhaust system? All vehicle manufacturers are subject to rules and regulations and are limited to exhaust gas regulations, which they must adhere to. The noise and emissions must be below a certain level. They control this by adding catalytic converters and diesel particle filters for emissions control and multiple baffled silencers for noise control. By adding these components to an exhaust system, you negatively influence the exhaust gas flow and hamper the vehicle’s performance.

The Key Features of De Graaf Exhaust

Why Grade 441 Stainless Steel?

Grade 441 Stainless Steel exhibits remarkably high temperature strength, exceeding that of grade 409. It also has good corrosion and oxidation resistance in an exhaust gas environment. Grade 441 Stainless Steel offers high creep resistance, making the exhaust system less prone to cracks and ensuring a good fitment position at high and low temperatures. Additionally, 441 exhaust systems can be polished to a high sheen and maintain their appearance with regular cleaning.

Why Not Grade 304 Stainless Steel?

Grade 304 Stainless Steel is best used in the food and catering industry where it is not exposed to high temperatures. Due to its hardness in comparison to 441, it does not perform well in the exhaust environment. High heat and vibration can cause the 304 stainless steel to crack and break next to the welding.

Benefits of De Graaf Exhaust

De Graaf utilizes unique free-flow silencer designs and mandrel bend pipework to enhance exhaust gas flow. The enhanced flow improves performance and fuel efficiency. The free-flow silencer design dampens noise through absorption, achieving a decent noise level that maintains the desired vehicle sound. The mandrel bend pipework has minimal narrowing in the bends, allowing for 30% better flow of exhaust gas. These features contribute to an excellent exhaust system that enhances your vehicle’s responsiveness and ensures lower exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs) on your manifold and turbo, leading to better longevity.
