In the world of high performance, luxury vehicles, BMW and Audi enjoy well deserved accolades for continuing to maintain the highest standards in automotive technology. For the enthusiast who has the desire for the performance of these manufacturers, but not necessarily the budget, there are options for upgrading older models of your favorite autos with reliable aftermarket parts and systems. Furthermore, many consumers who purchase brand new high performance vehicles still find themselves a bit disappointed in the sound or performance of the exhaust systems, as mass manufactured vehicles have to appeal to a broad audience. Therefore, advances in technology which may increase manufacturing profits and output or fuel economy, may result in a sacrificing of some level of horsepower and torque.

Supersprint, a manufacturer based in Mantova, Italy, has been producing high performance aftermarket exhaust systems since 1955. Through their painstaking processes of not only building, but actually advancing in the engineering of products to exceed the highest industry standards, Supersprint has forged a reputation that makes them the producer of the most sophisticated aftermarket exhaust systems available. Whether you are installing the system yourself, or willing to pay for the installation as well as the upgraded exhaust system, Supersprint has the background experience to make your investment worthwhile.

Noise reduction efforts in the performance of their exhaust systems has prompted Supersprint to conduct extensive testing of their prototypes, in comparison to stock systems included on the latest models of BMW and Audi. In the testing sequence, Supersprint measures sound output at idle, while accelerating, and at differing levels of gear shifting. These measurements are retaken after the prototype is completed to verify that Supersprint’s aftermarket exhaust systems are never more than 1 decibel louder than the original equipment manufacturer’s (OEM) parts.

Supersprint’s engineering team has also made dramatic strides in their determination of fabrication techniques of the exhaust system components to optimize performance. Careful calculation of material specifications, pipe diameters, and bend angles are not dictated by industry standards. Therefore, Supersprint analyses the current OEM manufacturing results by side by side comparison of original equipment to their own prototypes, and makes a painstaking series of incremental adjustments, retesting the horsepower and torque impact, until able to meet or exceed the performance level expected on a new vehicle.

It is with these expectations of attention to detail and performance and quality in materials and craftsmanship, that consumers of Supersprint’s aftermarket exhaust systems are willing to pay upwards of $1000 over the price of their new vehicle to upgrade the performance of their exhaust system. Typically, Supersprint’s systems are designed to install in the same way as the OEM parts, therefore there is no cutting or modifying of adjacent components required to accommodate installation, making the process fairly straightforward. Installers enjoy working with Supersprint’s aftermarket systems for this reason, and since time is money, the installation of a Supersprint aftermarket exhaust system will likely be less expensive than the installation of another manufacturer’s comparable system.
