The standard Vortex Exhaust? Resonator transforms all off-road 4x4s into very lively vehicles, particularly turbo diesel engine vehicles. Those of you with diesel vehicles that are so sluggish you have to allow extra time at roundabouts to pull out or pull onto roads from ‘T’ junctions will find vortex technology is a solution. More torque gives considerable advantages when towing and hill climbing. Reduce harmful missions to a fraction of what they were and save on fuel as described below. A Vortex ExhaustTM is great for petrol 4x4s and as well as increasing their power and torque the Vortex ExhaustTM Resonator cuts fuel consumption.
In four-wheel drive utility vehicles by fitting a Vortex ExhaustTM Resonator your engine will deliver more power and torque than before. This is particularly useful when towing or hill climbing. You will notice gearboxes stay in higher gears longer. Automatic boxes do not change down as frequently when towing loads up hills. Turbochargers deliver much smoother acceleration from a lower rev range. Whether manual of automatic you will notice the marked difference the Vortex ExhaustTM Resonator makes to the performance of your vehicle. We had one customer write in to a magazine saying after fitting a vortex system it had taken an annoying vibration out of his steering wheel at tick-over. Of course the product wasn’t designed to cut vibrations, but it will reduce vibration caused by misfires or engines struggling against backpressure, and thus give a smoother running engine.
With a Vortex ExhaustTM fewer particulates are produced because more of your fuel is burned. Emission tests show emissions drop 10 fold in many cases. Some 4x4 owners looking for power in Land Rovers adjust fuel delivery and have excessive black smoke pouring out of their exhaust in addition to getting more power. With a vortex you don’t do that. If you have boosted the fuel delivery you will need to set it back at the standard setting. You will have as much power as before but without the black smoke and excessive fuel consumption. Mpg is then increased significantly. All vehicles are different in terms of performance but it is not uncommon for someone to call Vortex Exhaust Technology Ltd and comment their Land Rover Discovery used to give 23mpg but now gives more than 30mpg. By running cleaner you will have maintenance benefits as well as a benefit for the environment by reducing your carbon footprint. We have Vortex ExhaustTM Resonators to fit every 4x4.
Vortex ExhaustTM Resonators have been put on virtually every type of 4x4. They work equally well on diesel, petrol and gas converted engines. There are a few important improvements that can be made to get the best out of your vehicle. Always replace the main resonator/muffler with the Vortex ExhaustTM Resonator no matter how much bigger it is than the Vortex ExhaustTM Resonator.
Several magazines have fitted Vortex ExhaustsTM to editors’ vehicles for evaluation and the editorials, which concerned 4 Land Rovers and a Jeep Cherokee were all glowing in appreciation of the improvement the Vortex ExhaustTM made.
