Custom Exhaust
Get a Custom Exhaust For Your Car
A car custom exhaust is an exhaust system built to fit one specific vehicle, made to the dimensions and the sound that the owner wants instead of a one-size mass-produced part. At Paramount Performance every car custom exhaust is fabricated in-house from T304 or T308 stainless steel or titanium, then matched to your car so it sits correctly, sounds the way you asked for and flows freely. We have built systems this way since 1986.
Paramount Performance is a division of VIEZU Technologies. The business began as a Jaguar and Land Rover specialist and now produces custom exhaust systems for the full range of car makes and models, from daily drivers to classics and supercars. You can see the wider Paramount Performance exhaust range across hundreds of vehicles.
What Is A Car Custom Exhaust?
A car custom exhaust is a system designed and made for your exact vehicle instead of a generic part sold in one size for many cars. Because each one is measured and built to suit the car it goes on, the fit is precise, the routing is clean and the sound can be set to your taste.
A custom exhaust can replace the full system from the manifold back, or focus on a cat back exhaust section where the rear silencers and tailpipes have the biggest effect on tone. If you are weighing up your choices, our guide to the difference between a custom and aftermarket exhaust explains how a made-to-order system compares with an off-the-shelf one.

Materials Used In Every Custom Exhaust System
Every custom exhaust system we make uses high grade T304 or T308 stainless steel, with titanium offered where the lightest weight and the sharpest finish matter most. Stainless steel resists corrosion and stands up to heat and road salt, which is why it suits both everyday cars and weekend cars.
Titanium weighs less again and is popular on performance and track focused builds. Whichever material you choose, the Paramount Performance custom exhaust systems are cut, welded and finished on site.
Resonated And Non-Resonated Options
Resonated and non-resonated describe how loud the finished exhaust is. A resonated system uses chambers that cancel out chosen frequencies for a quieter, smoother note that is comfortable on long drives.
A non-resonated system removes that silencing for a louder, rawer tone that many drivers want from a sports car. We talk you through both before any car custom exhaust is built so the result matches how you use the car.
Valvetronic Exhausts
Valvetronic exhausts let you change how loud the car is at the press of a button or a remote control. A valve in the system opens for a full, loud note when you want it and closes for a quieter drive through town or early in the morning. This puts the choice between calm and loud in your hands without swapping the exhaust itself.
Classic And Modern Custom Car Exhausts
A custom car exhaust suits classic vehicles as much as modern ones. For older and classic cars we offer two routes.
Restoration returns the system to original factory specification for owners who want the car kept true to how it left the factory. Enhancement upgrades the system for better flow and a stronger note on modern roads. Our Paramount Performance classic car exhaust systems are built to patterns covering hundreds of models, including makes no longer in production.

Car Custom Exhaust FAQs
What Is A Car Custom Exhaust?
A car custom exhaust is an exhaust system built to fit one specific vehicle and set to the owner’s chosen sound and flow. It is made to measure instead of being mass produced in a single size, which gives a precise fit and a tone you select.
How Much Does A Car Custom Exhaust Cost?
The cost depends on the vehicle, the material and the design, so pricing is given as a quote for your exact car. Stainless steel, titanium, the number of sections and any valve control all affect the figure. Request a quote and you will be given a price for the system you want.
Can I Get A Custom Exhaust System Near Me?
Yes, your exhaust can be supplied wherever you are. Paramount Performance fits systems at its Warwickshire workshop and ships worldwide by mail order, so distance is not a barrier to having a system made for your car.
Are Custom Exhausts Road Legal?
Custom exhausts for road use must meet the noise and emissions standards checked at the vehicle’s MOT. Road going vehicles in the UK are tested for exhaust emissions and excessive noise as part of the MOT, according to GOV.UK. Modifications such as de-cat pipes, DPF removal and pop and bang tuning are intended for off-road or motorsport use only and are not for use on public roads.
Will A Custom Exhaust Add Power?
A custom exhaust improves how freely gases leave the engine and changes the sound, with modest gains on some cars. For a real increase in power, ECU remapping does far more than an exhaust on its own, and the two work well together. We can advise on the right combination for your goals.
Do You Make Custom Exhausts For Classic Cars?
Custom exhausts for classic cars are one of our specialities, covering both restoration to factory specification and enhancement for modern driving. Patterns cover a wide range of classic and vintage models, including marques no longer made.
