Exhaust system problems
The high power output can lead to exhaust system issues, such as cracked manifolds or failed catalytic converters.
Sensor failures
High-performance engines rely on numerous sensors; any failure can lead to engine management problems.
Vacuum leaks
The complex intake systems of performance engines can develop vacuum leaks, affecting performance and fuel economy.
