Cargraphic performance exhaust systems

Cargraphic has developed exhaust systems since 1984, with a particularly extensive programme for Porsche. The brand uses T304L stainless steel and offers complete systems, manifolds, catalytic converters, silencers and tailpipes.

Its catalogue also includes valved exhausts and dedicated control modules, including solutions for selected classic Porsches. Double-wall tailpipes with adjustable mountings allow their position and appearance to be tailored to the vehicle.

Cargraphic silencers use an absorptive design, directing sound through perforated pipes into the surrounding acoustic material. Chamber geometry is selected to emphasise the engine’s character while limiting unwanted resonance. Mounting components are modelled in 3D and checked as plastic prototypes before the final part is laser-cut from steel.

History and development. Thomas Schnarr and his brother founded Cargraphic in Landau in 1984, initially trading parts for classic British and Italian sports cars. Restorations and proprietary components followed, with the company producing its own wheel range from 1998.

The business today. Its current portfolio includes exhausts, catalytic converters, active sound, engine upgrades, suspension and aerodynamics. Porsche remains a particularly important application area, while a classic-car workshop complements parts sales. Products are manufactured in-house or by specialist suppliers to Cargraphic’s specifications.
