AP Exhaust Technologies Products

For decades AP has engineered and manufactured a wide range of automotive exhaust and emission systems and components. AP’s assortment of products has grown to include mufflers, exhaust and tail pipes, catalytic converters and related installation and cosmetic accessories. AP has manufacturing processes which meet the needs for high-quality muffler, tube product, and catalytic converter production.

AP engineers design mufflers using state-of-the-art SolidWorks 3-D modeling programs resulting in rapid prototype and production implementation. AP's design process and adaptive manufacturing technologies allow the company to bring to market new products faster in a multitude of muffler configurations.

AP manufactures a vast array of mufflers designed for automotive, heavy-duty, and off-road vehicles. Using either stainless or aluminized steel, AP offers customers muffler design options for virtually any application. The company's muffler assembly lines are designed for maximum output providing enough capacity for any level of production requirement.

Muffler dimensional cross sections range from 4” round to 8.5”x11.5” oval. The design spectrum is unlimited within these dimensional ranges assuring that an effective sound and back pressure solution is matched to AP's customers’ specific exhaust system needs.

Within AP’s production factory sub-component parts are stamped and formed from raw material coils. AP controls the entire manufacturing process from the smallest component to the most complicated assembly. The company's expertise in the entire process from start to finish is what enables AP to be a complete exhaust solution provider.

AP manufactures a vast array of technologically advanced catalytic converters. From research to design, AP utilizes the best manufacturing practices and innovative technologies ensuring its customers are provided with solutions to meet their needs for industrial and automotive emission control components.

AP catalytic converters are designed to be durable and the company's use of stainless steel materials provides a long product life. Premium-grade ceramic substrates are processed in the company's factories to OEM performance and reliability standards. AP research engineers are specialized in material science, surface chemistry, and metallurgy. State-of-the-art production methods, coating techniques, advanced materials, and chemistry, all come together resulting in industry leading designs and emission control solutions.

AP is vertically integrated and manufactures vast amounts of strong steel tubing for use as straight and bent exhaust pipes, tail pipes, and muffler and catalytic converter components. AP forms and bends tubing from 1.50-inches to 5.00-inches in diameter for use in automobiles, light trucks, medium-duty and heavy-duty trucks.

Tube Bending is required in nearly every exhaust system. AP employs many types of bending; mandrel bending and compression bending are most common. Mandrel bending results in a premium pipe product. The process uses a precision mandrel positioned inside the tube during the bending process. The end result is a smooth, aesthetically pleasing appearance as it maintains the full inside tube diameter throughout the bend area. The use of mandrel bend pipes aids in reducing exhaust system back pressure. Compression bending results in some loss of inside tube diameter and is used where high-pressure flow is less critical.

AP is a leading manufacturer of steel straight tubing used in the automotive exhaust system market. The company's exhaust systems manufacturing process begins with steel tubing produced on its high-speed tube mill. Mufflers, catalytic converters, tail pipes, exhaust pipes and components require high-quality, corrosion-resistant, dimensionally precise steel tube.

The process begins with large commercial coils of aluminized steel and stainless steel. The company's in-house steel processing center slits these coils into precise widths which will be form through a series of rollers into the exact tubing diameter required for production or resale needs. AP tubing is electrically-seam welded and precision cut to required length. AP produces a variety of tubing diameters and styles. Diameters ranging from 1.50” to 3.00” are available.
