If your car sounds too quiet from the factory, an aftermarket performance exhaust is one of the most effective ways to change its character.
Modern vehicles are engineered with strict requirements around emissions, noise, comfort, and everyday drivability. Performance enthusiasts often want something more aggressive.
Fortunately, there are several ways to achieve that.
Cat-Back Exhaust
A cat-back system replaces exhaust components downstream of the catalytic converters.
Depending on the vehicle, a cat-back can produce a deeper, louder, and more aggressive exhaust note.
X-Pipe
An X-pipe exhaust can change the way exhaust gases from different engine banks interact.
It is particularly popular on performance V8 and V12 vehicles.
Downpipes
On turbocharged vehicles, downpipes are located directly downstream of the turbochargers.
Changing the downpipe configuration can alter exhaust flow and sound.
Valved Exhaust
A valved exhaust gives you control.
Instead of committing to one exhaust volume all the time, valves can provide different exhaust characteristics depending on their position.
Race Exhaust
Race-style exhaust systems generally prioritize aggressive sound and performance characteristics over quiet street operation.
They are especially popular on exotic and track-focused vehicles.
Velocity Exhausts offers performance exhaust components including cat-backs, X-pipes, downpipes, valved systems, titanium systems, stainless-steel systems and race configurations across a wide selection of performance vehicles.
The key is choosing a system designed specifically for your vehicle rather than simply choosing the loudest exhaust available.
