Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

A rattling exhaust in Johannesburg traffic is the kind of noise that gets worse, not better, the longer you leave it. The muffler shops on this page have logged over 2,000 Google reviews between them, and the ratings stay unusually close together, all landing between 4.4 and 4.7. With a gap that tight, review depth becomes the real differentiator, and one name here carries more reviews than the other four combined.

Short answer: Supa Quick Tyre Experts Selby is the standout on volume, rated 4.7 from 1,255 reviews, far ahead of anyone else on this page. SSR Performance / Powerflow Exhausts Randburg is the specialist pick for custom exhaust fabrication at 4.6 from 362 reviews. Straightforward exhaust and silencer work in Johannesburg is typically backed by manufacturer guarantees running several years.

Our take: A smaller shop that leans entirely on one person's reputation. Reviews are strongly positive when the work happens, though the one call-handling complaint is worth a mention.

Our take: The smallest review base on this page among the ranked names, and it sits at the lower end of the rating range too. Solid for routine tyre and brake work, though the franchise-branch variability is worth keeping in mind.

How we score

Rating is the live average pulled directly from Google. Volume measures how many customers have actually left a review, since over a thousand reviews carries more weight than a few dozen at the same star rating. Confidence blends the rating against that volume, and recency checks whether people are still reviewing the shop today. None of these numbers can be bought.

How much does muffler and exhaust work cost in Johannesburg? (2026)

Pricing for muffler and exhaust work in Johannesburg depends on whether it’s a repair weld, a straightforward silencer swap, or a full custom stainless-steel system, and on the make and size of the vehicle. Both Powerflow-branded shops on this page back their stainless steel silencers with a five-year guarantee, which is worth factoring into the total value of a quote, not just the upfront price. Always ask for a written quote before work starts.

Serving all of Johannesburg

These shops cover Selby South, Randburg, Vrededorp, Fordsburg, and Marshalltown, spreading across the central and northwestern parts of Johannesburg. If you’re searching for a muffler shop near me anywhere in that stretch of the city, one of them is likely a short drive away.

What to ask before you book exhaust work

  • Is this a repair weld or a full silencer or pipe replacement?
  • Does the work come with a guarantee, and how many years?
  • Can I get a written quote covering parts and labor before you start?
  • Do you stock stainless steel, or is it a standard replacement part?
  • How long will the job take, and can I wait on-site?
  • Will this affect any remaining manufacturer warranty on my vehicle?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these muffler shops?

We pulled real Google ratings and review counts for muffler shops across Johannesburg, then ranked them on a mix of rating, review volume, and how recently people are still leaving reviews.

How often is this updated?

This page reflects data verified in July 2026 and gets refreshed periodically as ratings and review counts change.

Do any of these shops offer a guarantee on the work?

Both SSR Performance and Powerflow Exhausts are part of the Powerflow network, which backs its stainless steel silencers with a five-year guarantee.

Should I get more than one quote for custom exhaust work?

Yes. Reviewers on this page specifically mention comparing quotes between shops, and pricing on custom fabrication can vary meaningfully depending on materials and labor.

The bottom line

Supa Quick Tyre Experts Selby is the safest default here, backed by far more reviews than anyone else on this page. If you want dedicated performance or custom exhaust fabrication, call SSR Performance instead, and ask about the guarantee either way.
