Ecoflo Performance Exhausts For 4x4s

The Vortex™ Exhaust Resonator transforms all off-road 4x4s into very lively vehicles, particularly turbo diesel engine 4x4s. Those of you with diesel 4x4s 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™ Exhaust is great for petrol 4x4s and as well as increasing their power and torque the Vortex™ Exhaust Resonator cuts fuel consumption.

In four-wheel drive utility vehicles by fitting a Vortex™ Exhaust 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™ Exhaust 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™ Exhaust 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™ Exhaust Resonators to fit every 4x4.

Vortex™ Exhaust 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™ Exhaust Resonator no matter how much bigger it is than the Vortex™ Exhaust Resonator.

Several magazines have fitted Vortex™ Exhausts 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™ Exhaust made.

Frequently Asked Questions relating to exhausts for 4x4s

Q. How will it affect the performance of my 4x4?
A. You will benefit from more power torque and fuel saving. This applies to diesel and petrol 4x4s. Importantly it will reduce fuel consumption by up to 25% in the petrol 4x4s on cruising long distances.

Q. Will the vortex muffler give further economy and power on an LPG converted vehicle?
A. Yes, the vortex will in all cases reduce backpressure and increase economy and power. This will allow you to use throttle less to maintain speed and gives you a much better running engine when running on gas or petrol.

Q. What performance can I expect from the turbo on my TDi?
A. The turbo will deliver a much smoother performance than before because it will not be restricted by exhaust backpressure. It will start to function earlier (at lower revs) because exhaust gas be flows at a higher velocity in a Vortex™ exhaust than in a conventional exhaust.

Q. What if I have modified my engine in other ways?
A. Vortex™ complements all other modifications and increases performance further. However, if you have changed the fuel delivery from standard settings it would be best to set them back to standard because you do not need to overfuel once the vehicle is fitted with a Vortex™ Exhaust?.

General questions

Q. What happens if I fit a Vortex™ exhaust to a vehicle with a turbocharged engine?
A. You will get a lower boost threshold and the turbo vanes it will accelerate faster. That will give much more boost and a smooth acceleration to you engine. You will know immediately that a major change has occurred.

Q. What happens if there is an Exhaust Gas Return valve fitted to the exhaust?
A. This will not affect the function or any of the benefits of the Vortex™ Exhaust?.
