Performance Exhaust Systems & Exhaust Parts from Vivid Racing

Your exhaust system isn’t just a collection of pipes—it’s the heartbeat of your car’s sound, performance, and personality. A well-tuned exhaust transforms every drive, sharpening throttle response, unlocking hidden horsepower, and giving your vehicle a tone that demands attention.

At Vivid Racing, we live for that transformation. From subtle upgrades that refine your daily driver to full systems that unleash track-ready performance, our collection of high-performance exhaust systems and components has everything you need to take your car to the next level.

Why Upgrade Your Exhaust?

A factory exhaust gets the job done, but it’s designed for quiet comfort and cost savings, not performance. Upgrading your system delivers:

• More Power & Torque – Free up horsepower with high-flow piping that reduces backpressure.

• Unforgettable Sound – From aggressive roars to refined sport tones, your car’s voice becomes part of the experience.

• Sharper Throttle Response – Faster gas flow means quicker acceleration and more responsive driving.

• Better Efficiency – A freer-breathing engine doesn’t just make power, it can also improve fuel economy.

If your stock exhaust is dull, restrictive, or on its way out, it’s the perfect time to upgrade.

The Building Blocks of Power & Sound

Every exhaust system is designed with a unique flow path and sound profile. Key components include:

• Headers / Manifolds – Channel gases straight from the engine for maximum efficiency.

• Downpipes & Mid-Pipes – Essential for turbocharged cars, delivering faster spool and better response.

• Catalytic Converters – Keep your ride street-legal while reducing emissions.

• Catback & Axle-Back Systems – The go-to upgrades for drivers who want serious sound and noticeable gains.

• Mufflers & Resonators – Fine-tune tone while cutting drone.

• Exhaust Tips & Finishes – A finishing touch that makes a visual statement.

Power Gains for Turbocharged Cars

Turbo setups thrive on exhaust upgrades. The hotter and faster gases move, the quicker the turbo spools—delivering more power, stronger mid-range, and a harder-hitting top end. Pair your turbo system with a high-flow downpipe, catback, or even exhaust wrap to keep heat where it belongs and power at its peak.

Street Ready. Track Proven.

Performance matters, but so does compliance. Always make sure your system meets local and federal emissions regulations. Keep catalytic converters in place for road cars, and reserve straight-pipe or race-only systems for closed-course use.

Find Your Perfect System at Vivid Racing

From mild to wild, Vivid Racing carries exhaust systems and parts that match your driving goals. Explore our lineup:

• Catback & Axle-Back Systems – Replace factory piping from the catalytic converter (catback) or rear axle (axle-back) to improve exhaust flow, reduce backpressure, and alter sound without affecting emissions compliance.

• Headers & Turbo Manifolds – Engineered to channel exhaust gases more efficiently from the cylinder head, these improve scavenging, reduce flow restriction, and increase horsepower and torque.

• Downpipes, Mid-Pipes & Y-Pipes – Critical flow components that connect the turbocharger or header to the rest of the system; high-flow versions reduce turbulence, improve turbo spool, and increase overall system efficiency.

• Catalytic Converters & Test Pipes – High-flow catalytic converters maintain emissions compliance while reducing restriction, whereas test pipes are intended for race-use only to maximize flow where legal.

• Mufflers, Resonators & Exhaust Tips – Mufflers control noise levels, resonators eliminate drone and refine tone, and tips provide the finishing appearance without affecting performance.

• Gaskets, Brackets & Heat Shields – Precision-fit hardware that ensures proper sealing, secure mounting, and thermal management to prevent leaks and maintain durability under high-heat conditions.

Make Sure Your Exhaust System is Street Legal

It’s important to note that all road-going applications must abide by local and federal law with regards to emissions components such as the catalytic converter. These components can only be removed on dedicated track cars (where legal), and should never be removed if you use your vehicle for the street. Always check with state and federal laws before replacing your catalytic converter.

What is the Best Way to Upgrade My Exhaust System?

Typically, most enthusiasts install a catback exhaust system, which replaces everything from the catalytic converter to the exhaust tip. A catback exhaust system is typically the best bang-for-buck option if you want to upgrade your exhaust system, while also dramatically changing how your car sounds.
