What do exhaust stages do?

[CaptCanadia]

How do exhaust stages work? Do they increase air flow and performance? I'd really like to know because I've asked a few times and didn't really get an answer. I wanna make an exhaust and I would like to know if it is possible to make stages easily and if they increase performance.

When you say "stages", are you referring to a stepped header? If so, yep, they are rather easy to make, and yep, they do make power if they are set at the correct lengths for the rpm range you are running. Hope this helps.

Takes math to get them right.

if they sell a pipe for you engine, then you could just buy one.
