Our performance exhaust technology works on road cars of all engine capacities. We have a suitable Vortex™ exhausts for all vehices that will improve your all round motoring performance. From a Mini up to a top of the range BMW we have developed a Vortex™ exhaust Resonator to suit. Vortex™ exhaust Resonators designed for road cars are suitable up to approximately 250bhp* and past that a Vortex™ exhaust Sport Resonator should be used. Our agents or vortex engineers will explain what you need when you tell them what make and model car you have. Our agents are able to fit a full stainless steel simple custom fit exhaust system incorporating a vortex that will pay for itself over time.

* You may fit a VORTEX SPORT EXHAUST on cars with engines less than 250bhp. Please ask for further details if interested.

With this performance exhaust technology your fuel consumption will be reduced dramatically saving you money at the fuel pump. More importantly your engine will actually run cleaner giving other maintenance benefits as well as a benefit for the environment by reducing your carbon footprint. We have Vortex™ Exhaust Resonators to fit practically every car.

Most modern cars have computer systems that govern tuning and these allow self-learning of tuning to cater for variable conditions and variable fuel quality. The Engine Management Systems (EMS) on these vehicles often self-learn quickly as you drive your car. This process of learning can also be achieved by dismantling the battery terminals overnight to power down the EMS. The self-learning software will find the best map for running your engine with the vortex, but might limit gains to only 10% or 15%. Cars with programmable EMS software require reprogramming to get the optimum from the vortex. As with other applications the vortex exhaust technology works on diesel, turbo diesel, petrol, and gas conversion vehicles. You can expect an increase of 10% power, 15% torque and between 10% and 25% in fuel savings after fitting a Vortex™ Exhaust Resonator.

Virtually all makes of cars have already been fitted with Vortex™ Exhaust Resonators and include for example: Audi, Alfa Romeo, BMW, Citroen, Fiat, Ford, Jaguar, Mercedes, MGB, Nissan, Porche, Peugoet, Renault, Rover, Saab, Seat, Toyota, Volkswagen, Volvo, American and Japanese cars etc.

Ordering and fitting

Ordering Performance or Custom Exhausts
Vortex™ Exhaust Resonators are available from stock at our fitting agents. If you contact us directly we will point you in the direction of our nearest agent to you.

Fitting Performance or Custom Exhausts
Our agents are experts at fitting stainless steel exhausts or modifying exhaust systems to fit our Vortex™ Exhaust Resonators. The time taken to fit a Vortex™ Exhaust will depend on the type of car you have. Often the work will take less than 90 minutes, but some complicated double exhaust systems will take longer.

Questions relating to cars

Q. Will the vortex fit all cars?
A. In nearly every case the Vortex™ exhaust Resonator is smaller than the main muffler it replaces so there is no problem fitting.

Q. Do all cars of the same make and model have the same gain in power and torque?
A. No, some cars do better than others. This will depend on the condition of your engine and the version of Engine management System (EMS). EMS is a field of continual development and manufacturers often modify EMS systems several times during the production life of a car. So two cars from the same year won’t necessarily have the same performance.

Q. Should I upgrade the size of my exhaust when fitting a vortex?
A. Only if the pipe has a diameter less than 2” to begin with. Bigger is not necessarily better! Sometimes it can reduce your low down performance if you go for a bigger pipe size. The front pipe must not be bigger in diameter than the Vortex™ exhaust Resonator inlet diameter and the diameter of the part of the exhaust system and tail pipe.

Q. Will a Vortex™ exhaust Resonator work on an exhaust system that is bigger than 3” on high performance cars?
A. Yes, but you need a specially constructed Vortex™ Sport Exhaust?.

Q. If I have a v-engine and two independent exhaust pipes do I need two vortex mufflers?
A. Not necessarily. You could branch into a y-piece. Alternatively you can fit two mufflers in parallel.

Q. Will it work on a rotary engine?
A. Yes, with results as good as other engines, if not better, because you may have very high backpressure initially.

Q. Will I get a fuel saving on a very high performance car?
A. Yes, however, if you have an engine management system that does not change fuelling because it is not self-learning you will need to get the software remapped to save fuel, and have the engine running at its best.

Q. What if I have other modifications such as upgraded air filter, intercooler, new chip, new headers, or an enhanced turbo?
A. The vortex muffler will complement and increase your performance further as these modifications will do nothing to alleviate backpressure.

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?.
