The Difference Between Bolt-on and Customized Exhaust Systems

There is a misunderstood among the motoring enthusiasts that bolt-on kits, particularly exhaust systems are the ideal solutions for reviving up their rides. This fails to take into account the different requirements each variant of a car (varying power levels, auto/manual transmissions) needs and most importantly, the specific power delivery characteristics that drivers want/need. There are no magical bolt-on ‘one-fits-all’ systems that could suit every car and driver needs.

By designing the whole exhaust system, the exact characteristics needed by customers can be met with precision, be it low-end torque for brisk acceleration or high-end power for cruising refinement. The designers make no false promises of increasing power two-folds from exhaust modifications alone, instead commits to being able to fine-tune the engine’s power band according to the clients’ preference. The difference between bolt-on and customized systems can be alarmingly large, often defining whether or not you get left for dead at traffic light drag races or deafeningly loud exhaust drone on the highways.

Yawning

In the people point of view, yawning happen when they're feel sleepy. Actually yawning occur when human body have insufficient amount of oxygen. When the body is in insufficient amount of oxigen,it will alert the brain to do the next action which is yawning activity. As a result, a lot of oxygen will inhale into the body until the amount are required. Thats why when yawning,the mouth will open for quite a long time to gather sufficient amount of oxygen. Human can avoid the yawning effect by taking a deep breath at least 3 times once a hour.Drinking a lot of plain water also can help to reduce yawning symptom.
