Bristol 400 Exhaust System | Paramount Performance

Model years from: 01/01/1947

Model years to: 12/31/1950

The Bristol 400 is more than a classic , it’s a driving statement. Our handcrafted stainless steel exhaust system is built to honour and enhance its iconic presence.

Each exhaust is hand-built in the UK, shaped specifically for the Bristol 400 with immaculate attention to fit, sound, and finish. Built from premium-grade stainless steel, it offers lasting protection against corrosion while enhancing the car’s original tone.

The result is a driving experience that feels more alive , with improved gas flow, reduced backpressure, and a tone that’s deeper yet never overwhelming. You’ll feel the difference in every gear.

Every Bristol 400 carries a sense of occasion , a reminder of an era when driving was more than transport; it was style, statement, and engineering pride. This system adds depth to that experience without overshadowing its originality.

Beyond its visual appeal, this upgrade represents a commitment to preservation , it’s about keeping your Bristol 400 not just running, but thriving in today’s world of modern roads and expectations.

The acoustics of this system are carefully engineered: subtle at idle, characterful under load. It delivers aural satisfaction that’s authentic, not overwhelming , matching the tone and temperament of your classic Bristol 400.
