Car Sound Exhaust System, Inc. has become a worldwide leader in the manufacture of aftermarket catalytic converters and performance exhaust and has been servicing the professional exhaust installer since 1979. As an ISO 9001 approved company, Car Sound has made a commitment to exceeding the needs of our customers by providing the highest quality products possible.

This commitment has lead to a significant investment in R&D. The Car Sound/MagnaFlow R&D Tech Center is equipped with Multiple Chassis Dynos, an Engine Dyno, Flow Bench, Exhaust Gas Analysis Equipment, DB Test Equipment and an exhaust fabrication facility including four vehicle lifts.

All Car Sound components are CAD engineered to exact specifications. The Design Department works closely with Manufacturing and the Quality Department to make sure that specifications are adhered to, and the finished product meets all specifications. Car Sound Catalytic converters are designed, developed and manufactured to meet the strict and evolutionary emission control standards imposed by governmental agencies worldwide, including the U.S. EPA and California ARB. Car Sound has produced converters for virtually every make and model vehicle manufactured or imported into the United States since 1975, when catalytic converters were first introduced.

Car Sound’s Manufacturing capabilities are extensive, producing over 1000 various products. Car Sound manufactures a full range of catalytic converters from sub-assembly bullets, universals and direct-fit units. The MagnaFlow Performance Exhaust division produces universals, direct-fit cat-back exhaust systems and stainless steel tips, as well as the XL line of turbo mufflers.

Car Sound conducts business on six continents and produces and distributes product from three facilities in California and one location in Italy. The California facilities are made up from a 50,000 sq. ft. Company Headquarters, a 30,000 sq. ft. R&D Tech Center, and a 150,000 sq. ft. Manufacturing Center. In 2006 Car Sound will open a new 250,000 sq. ft. Distribution Center in California. The Italian facility is the company’s European Sales & Distribution Center.

As we go forward, you'll slowly start to witness a change as we segue into the MagnaFlow name. The name change will simply help people from both sides of our business understand that high quality, high performance exhaust products are our passion.
