A car exhaust system is perhaps something that is the least talked about aspect of a car. People do validate its presence in a car, but they end up keeping it on a side burner. On a serious note though, a car’s exhaust system not only pushes the exhaust gases out of the system but at the same time enables the engine to run smoothly. In fact, to a certain extent, a car’s exhaust system also manages the frequencies of vibration that the car makes while moving.

Aluminium and magnesium provide wheels with greater strength and flexibility. The traditional manufacturing of wheels was done with steel mostly for strength and durability. But when it comes to sports and luxury cars, alloy wheels have always been in high demand. And for the last two decades, it’s been in-demand from the commercial market point of view as well! Let us have a look at why these “mag wheels” have been in demand and is are they a better option than the traditional wheels: 1. It’s Better at Heat Conduction as Well as Dissipation: Alloys have always been better than steel wheels when it comes to heat conduction or its dissipation. And because of this property, alloy wheels are far better in braking performances, leading to a decrease in brake failures. 2. Stunning Look: The look of the alloy wheels is to die for! The ki...

There are unplanned events and accidents taking place, over which we don’t have control. Be it a sudden downpour in a hot, sultry day or winds gushing through on a serene winter night. Most of the time, we need to be prepared as we never know what the next incident would occur in our life. We know that an engine is what gives power to the vehicle and holds great importance.
