Exhausts in Somerton Park

A healthy exhaust should be sealed, secure and quiet enough to live with. Leaks, broken hangers and blown mufflers are more than an annoyance. They can let fumes into the cabin and upset how the engine runs.

If you're after more flow or a better sound, we build for durability first, then aim for a note you'll enjoy on a Sunday drive without it droning in your ears on the daily commute.

Nobody wants a highway drone on the daily commute. The aim is a note that makes you take the long way home, without upsetting the neighbours.

We're based in Somerton Park, close to Glenelg, Brighton, Hove, Warradale, Glengowrie, Morphettville, Novar Gardens, Plympton and Marion.

FAQs

Exhausts questions,
answered straight.

Is an exhaust leak dangerous?

It can be. A leak ahead of the cabin can let exhaust gases, including carbon monoxide, into the car. It can also affect oxygen sensor readings and how the engine runs. If you can smell exhaust inside, get it checked promptly.

Will an aftermarket exhaust make my car too loud?

It doesn't have to. Road cars in Australia need to stay within legal noise limits, and a well chosen system can sound better without being antisocial. We'll talk through options and how each one is likely to sound.

What causes exhaust drone?

Drone is a low frequency hum that builds at steady cruising speeds, usually when a system is too open for the car. Resonators and the right muffler choice help keep it in check.

Does a bigger exhaust always mean more power?

No. An exhaust needs to suit the engine. Going too big on a mostly standard engine can hurt low down response. We'll recommend a size and layout that matches your setup.

Stainless or mild steel?

Stainless steel resists corrosion and generally lasts longer, but costs more up front. Mild steel is cheaper and fine for many cars. We'll explain the trade-offs for your budget and how long you plan to keep the car.
