People often ask: Does my car need an exhaust bellows? Our answer is yes, you need it. We recommend that all front-wheel drive vehicles and four-wheel-drive vehicles be equipped with exhaust bellows. It is an essential part of the vehicle exhaust system, especially when the engine is transversely mounted.
Take off stress
Because the engine mounts and transmission systems are quite rigid, they cannot move too much. The exhaust bellows works as an elastic vessel, and can well absorb the rock generated by the engine operation and the thermal expansion caused by the heat of the exhaust system.
It is very important to realize that the entire exhaust pipe vibrates without it. It helps reduce the possibility of expensive manifolds and downpipes cracking, as well as extending the life of the entire exhaust pipe and its components.
Alleviate alignment
The exhaust bellows also helps to alleviate minor pipe alignment issues. Without its help, the stress of misaligned pipes will be transmitted to the connecting flange or other components.
And it can also work in some extreme situations. For example, when a vehicle has a rear-ended collision. The exhaust bellows can isolate the impact of collision from damaging the turbocharger kit to a certain extent, instead of bending or cracking like other hard things.
