Sport exhaust system

Sport exhaust system

Our unique selection of sports exhaust systems has been developed to meet the needs of all drivers, regardless of their ambitions for their car. The range includes everything from advanced, professional systems to simpler sport systems. You'll find components such as downpipes, motorsport systems, electronic exhaust systems, catalytic converters, and race pipes in our collection.

In addition to BSR’s own Sportflow™, which is designed to provide faster throttle response and a sportier sound at the right quality and price, we also offer systems from Simons, Ferrita, Quicksilver, and Akrapovic. Simons is known for exhaust systems that not only sound amazing but also give the car that perfect sporty appearance. Ferrita, with its extensive motorsport experience, develops high-quality sports systems with fantastic sound and a lifetime warranty for maximum peace of mind.

Akrapovic and Quicksilver are two of the most exclusive brands in the world of sports exhausts, renowned for their high-performance, ultra-lightweight systems used by both professional racing teams and enthusiasts. Akrapovic is especially known for its titanium systems, which significantly reduce weight while delivering incredible sound and outstanding durability. Quicksilver offers handcrafted systems that produce a unique sound and are designed to improve performance and throttle response while achieving the perfect balance between sound and efficiency.

Benefits of having a sport exhaust system:

• Increased power: An optimized exhaust flow delivers more power and efficiency to your engine.

• Better throttle response: Your car feels quicker and more responsive, giving you a sportier driving experience.

• Enhanced appearance & sound: In addition to performance improvements, a sports exhaust system gives your car a more aggressive look and an amazing sound.

Structure of an exhaust system: 

A sports exhaust system is made up of several key components that work together to create the perfect balance between performance and sound. Here are some essential parts:

• Exhaust manifold: Channels exhaust gases from the engine to the rest of the system, influencing exhaust flow.

• Muffler: Reduces engine noise while maintaining a sporty and aggressive tone.

• Catalytic converter: Cleans the exhaust gases through post-combustion and captures harmful substances.

• Particulate filter: Used to filter emissions in diesel engines, and is becoming increasingly common in petrol engines as well.

• Lambda sensor: Measures the exhaust gas composition and adjusts the fuel mixture to optimize engine performance.

• Mounting components: Made of rubber to reduce noise and vibrations and to provide flexibility to the system.

Sports exhaust system vs. Standard exhaust system

A standard exhaust system may need to be replaced multiple times over the lifespan of a vehicle due to external factors such as vibrations, temperature changes, road salt, and stone chips. In comparison, a sports exhaust system offers not only increased durability but also improved exhaust flow, which results in better performance and efficiency.

Common reasons for replacing an exhaust system: 

A standard exhaust system is exposed to harsh external conditions and often requires replacement. Some common signs that your exhaust system may be failing include:

• Increased noise: If your exhaust starts sounding louder than usual (often with a rattling or booming sound) it may be time for a replacement.

• Higher fuel consumption: An inefficient exhaust system can negatively impact engine performance and increase fuel usage.

• Exhaust smell inside the cabin: This could indicate a leak or damage in the system and should be addressed immediately.

• Rust: Visible rust can be an early warning that your exhaust system is deteriorating.

By regularly maintaining and cleaning your exhaust system, especially during the winter months, you can extend its lifespan. Upgrading to a stainless steel exhaust system not only protects against future rust issues but can also save you money in the long run.
