I've had two of my cars fitted with exhausts here and couldn't be happier with the experience. The team is amazing to deal with, great customer service, no hassle and everything runs smoothly from start to finish. The workmanship is top notch and they really take pride in what they do.
Cannot speak more highly of the entire team at City Performance. Recently upgraded my exhaust on my BMW M2 CS and made the whole experience something special.
I contacted City Performance Centre feeling a little underwhelmed with my factory package of my M3 (sound). The guys there were so helpful and recommend I invest in an Akrapovič system and Eventuri intake. I couldn't be happier with the result, you brought my car to life!

CarbonHow much does an upgrade cost?
It depends on the car and the parts. Tell us your car and what you're after and we'll give you one price for the parts and fitting before we start.
What should I upgrade first?
For most cars it's an exhaust or intake, then a tune written for those parts. Tell us how you use the car and we'll recommend an order that makes sense.
What's the difference between a Stage 1 and Stage 2 tune?
A Stage 1 tune is software only, on standard hardware. A Stage 2 tune is written for supporting parts such as a downpipe, intake or intercooler. We'll tell you which suits your car and how you drive it.
Do you make custom exhausts?
Yes. We fabricate one-off systems, downpipes and repairs in our own workshop, for cars where an off-the-shelf system doesn't exist or doesn't suit.
Do you work on modified or tuned cars?
Yes. Exhausts, tunes, coilovers and big brakes are what we fit every day, so we know what to check on a car that's already been modified.
Do you prepare cars for track days?
Yes. We check and set up cars for Sydney Motorsport Park and other track days, including brakes, fluids, alignment and suspension.
