![]() WHAT ARE THE SIGNS THAT MY MOTOR IS RUNNING LEAN? It is never a good idea to run a motor or our exhaust at higher-than-normal temperatures since it can lead to failures down the road. This leads to increased overall exhaust and motor temperatures and also decreased overall performance. ![]() When a motor is running lean, it is not getting the ample amount of fuel that it needs to function at its best. Running lean generally means that your motor is not getting enough fuel to balance out the added airflow and equates to your motor and exhaust system running at higher-than-normal temperatures. When the air/fuel mixture is changed, your motor will have a tendency to run lean. WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS AIR/FUEL MIXTURE CHANGE? This changes the air/fuel mixture that is set up for the stock exhaust system. Also, generally the mid pipe and head pipes of most aftermarket systems are larger diameters than stock which allow for added airflow to pass through quicker. The aftermarket exhaust is designed to allow more airflow to pass by significantly less restricted than the stock muffler does. When you put an aftermarket higher-flowing exhaust on a vehicle, it throws off the current air/fuel mixture that the vehicle is setup from the factory with. Yes, you need to properly tune your motor. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE PURCHASED AN AFTERMARKET EXHAUST.
