In the latest episode of the Road to AAPEX, we go on a journey through the past, present and future of the manufacturing of exhaust systems. We begin with an overview of catalytic converters, highlighting their evolution since the 1970 Clean Air Act, which mandated significant emission reductions. Clint Cooper from AP Emissions details the engineering behind its exhaust components, which are crafted in American facilities using state-of-the-art technology. As Clint demonstrates the installation of a complete exhaust system for a 2010 Honda CRV, we gain insight into the meticulous processes involved, from material selection to advanced bending techniques.
