Choosing the Right Exhaust for Your Classic Car: A Buyer’s Guide
A classic car deserves more than a generic solution. It needs a precision-engineered stainless steel exhaust system that respects its origins while ensuring long-lasting reliability.
Stainless Steel vs. Mild Steel: The Distinction
Classic cars were originally equipped with mild steel exhaust systems. While authentic, they are prone to rust and corrosion over time. For a vehicle stored for extended periods, this can lead to decay. Our exhausts are made from premium-grade stainless steel, ensuring resistance to rust, heat and moisture, giving your classic car a system that can last for decades.
Performance vs Original-Style Systems
You do not have to compromise between authenticity and longevity. You can choose between an exact reproduction of the factory system or a subtle performance improvement with better flow. Our custom stainless steel exhaust systems can be tuned to reproduce your car’s original sound profile, whether you want a system that is identical to the factory specification or one that offers a little extra presence.
Tips for a Precise Fit
Every system is made to factory measurements for a direct installation. We use original patterns and established methods. The result is a factory-correct fit, finish and tone that feels right every time you drive, with correct bends, joints and mounting points.

Custom Exhaust Fabrication Services
Unlike mass-produced aftermarket exhausts, every Paramount Performance exhaust system is fabricated and built to order. Each system undergoes bespoke measurement and design tailored specifically to your car’s make, model and year, followed by manual fabrication using high-grade stainless steel tubing shaped and welded by expert craftsmen.
The Science of Sound & Performance
Why does a Paramount Performance exhaust sound and function so much better than a standard system? It is a matter of superior materials and expert engineering.
>The distinct, premium sound of our exhausts originates from the T304 grade stainless steel we use. This dense, rigid alloy suppresses the undesirable high-frequency vibrations that cause a “tinny” rasp in lesser systems. Instead, it allows the deep, lower-frequency notes to resonate with a crisp, sporty character that makes the drive more rewarding. This acoustic refinement, combined with our precision engineering to improve exhaust gas flow, is what produces both a beautiful sound and a noticeable increase in power and throttle response.
Hear the Difference: Customer Vehicles & Sound Clips
Every classic car has its own unique sound. From the deep burble of a Jaguar V12 to the powerful roar of a Ferrari V8, the exhaust note is a key part of the driving experience. A Paramount Performance Classic exhaust enhances this with a deep, refined tone that adds presence without being excessive.

Customer Spotlight: Robert’s Jaguar F-Type
We believe our work speaks for itself, but our customers often say it better. Robert travelled from Ireland to have us fit our signature Predator package to his Jaguar F-Type.
From Ireland to Warwickshire:
“I carried out a lot of research when looking into performance modifications for my Jaguar F Type, from the outset it was clear there was only one place to consider and that was Paramount Performance UK. It took me a 3.5 hour ferry journey and a 4 hour 200 mile drive to get there from Ireland, but it was worth the effort…I opted for the full predator package with 200 cell cats, it’s absolutely transformed the driving experience and performance of the car, and is something I’d recommend for any F type Owners! Thanks again guys!!!”
