that a larger exhaust system will boost power output. However, if the exhaust is too big, it can reduce backpressure, which is essential for maintaining low-end torque. This loss of torque can actually hurt performance, particularly during normal driving conditions. To maximize power, an exhaust system should be appropriately sized to match the engine\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cold_Air_Intakes_Always_Add_Horsepower\"><\/span><strong>Cold Air Intakes Always Add Horsepower<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"665\" src=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cold-Air-Intake-Systems.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-37120\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cold-Air-Intake-Systems.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cold-Air-Intake-Systems-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cold-Air-Intake-Systems-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Editorial Credit:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Many assume that installing a cold air intake will lead to immediate horsepower gains. While it can increase engine efficiency by delivering cooler air, the results are often minimal unless other components are modified as well. Without proper tuning, a cold air intake alone may have little to no effect on overall performance. For optimal gains, it should be paired with a performance exhaust and ECU tuning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Premium_Fuel_Equals_Better_Performance\"><\/span><strong>Premium Fuel Equals Better Performance<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Premium-Gas2-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1704\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Premium-Gas2-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Premium-Gas2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Premium-Gas2-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Premium-Gas2-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Premium-Gas2.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Editorial Credit:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>A common misconception is that using premium fuel will enhance the performance of any car. This is not the case, as most engines are designed to run efficiently on regular gasoline. Only high-performance engines tuned specifically for premium fuel benefit from it. For everyday vehicles, premium fuel offers no real advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"More_Boost_Always_Means_More_Power\"><\/span><strong>More Boost Always Means More Power<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Turbocharging-and-Supercharging.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-37507\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Turbocharging-and-Supercharging.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Turbocharging-and-Supercharging-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Turbocharging-and-Supercharging-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Editorial Credit:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Turbocharging enthusiasts often believe that turning up the boost will always result in more power.

However, wider tires can negatively affect fuel economy, increase road noise, and decrease handling if not properly balanced with the car\u2019s suspension. The best results often come from using tires that match the manufacturer\u2019s recommended size for the vehicle. Bigger isn\u2019t always better when it comes to tires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ECU_Tuning_Can_Fix_All_Performance_Issues\"><\/span><strong>ECU Tuning Can Fix All Performance Issues<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"562\" src=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Unauthorized-Software-Tuning.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-55970\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Unauthorized-Software-Tuning.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Unauthorized-Software-Tuning-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Unauthorized-Software-Tuning-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Editorial Credit:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Some drivers expect that ECU tuning will fix all performance issues. While it can unlock additional power, a poorly executed tune can cause more harm than good. Incorrect tuning can lead to engine misfires, poor fuel efficiency, or even damage critical engine components. It\u2019s essential to have ECU tuning performed by a professional to avoid potential problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Aftermarket_Parts_Always_Outperform_Stock_Parts\"><\/span><strong>Aftermarket Parts Always Outperform Stock Parts<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Aftermarket-Parts-Always-Improve-Performance.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-56127\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Aftermarket-Parts-Always-Improve-Performance.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Aftermarket-Parts-Always-Improve-Performance-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Aftermarket-Parts-Always-Improve-Performance-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Editorial Credit:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a belief that aftermarket parts are always better than the factory-installed ones.
