Too Afraid to Ask

A sport exhaust is like a special set of pipes that let the car’s engine breath better. It makes the car sound louder and can help it run a bit faster.

Technical Definition

A sport exhaust system is a modified version of the standard exhaust that typically uses larger diameter pipes, lighter materials, and a more aggressive muffler design. It improves airflow, can increase horsepower slightly, and gives the car a louder, more aggressive engine note.
