When it comes to sports cars, one of the easiest modifications you can do is improve the exhaust for several reasons. The number one reason will always be for sound. While there are dozens of exhausts available for the same car, they all will have a distinctive sound that is subjective to the end user. The second reason is for performance since exhaust systems are typically lighter than stock thanks to lightweight material and also beneficial in gaining extra horsepower thanks to unique free flowing designs. However, all exhausts are not created equal so here are the best exhaust systems on the market.
Tubi
Conveniently located in Maranello Italy, just outside of Ferrari’s factory, Tubi have developed a unique relationship with the Italian manufacturers. Their co-founders, Fausto Lettieri and Enrico Ruini were previously race exhaust designers who decided to apply their extensive knowledge to streetcars. With each unit hand-crafted to very high standards, their team of roughly 40 skilled workers create both OE exhaust systems for many manufacturers as well as their race applications which you are likely more familiar with due to their beautiful sounds.

Novitec
While Novitec’s performance and aero packages go far beyond just exhausts, there is no shortage of quality simply because they do more than one thing. With three premium brands catering to Lamborghini, Ferrari, and Maserati respectively, they have a complete tuning program for almost every recent model from those makes. Their exhaust systems are made from Formula One grade lightweight Inconel. This produces maximum weight savings, heat dissipation, and power.

Kreissieg
Yokohama, Japan is not the first place that comes to mind when we think about exotic car part manufacturing. What started as a used car dealer in 1971 in Osaka quickly evolved into service and importing of exotic cars like the Lotus Super 7s and Nobile Ferrari P4s. In 1999, the Kreissieg performance division came to life designing custom valvetronic exhausts. Made by hand, of course, one special element of Kreissieg designs is that they use a bypass valve that is a larger diameter than the pipe itself, this ensures maximum flow by taking the restriction of the butterfly into account and out of the equation. Their full-service facility also handles complete maintenance, custom builds, bodywork, and more. Definitely worth a visit if you find yourself in Japan.
