Will a performance exhaust make the car too loud?
Not when it is planned. Muffler and resonator choice controls the volume, so you keep the note under throttle without the drone at 110.
Workshop service
Performance exhaust upgrades for Wollongong and Illawarra
Sound comes first on a performance exhaust. Too quiet wastes your money, too loud ruins the commute and drones on the motorway. The workshop builds to a tone target you agree on, then checks flow, clearance and drone before handover. Tell the team the car and the note you want, and you will get a setup you can live with every day.

How much power will an exhaust add?
That depends on the engine and what restricts it now. You will be told straight if an exhaust alone makes little difference on your vehicle.
