This competition will test the limits of sound, with engines roaring and vibrations shaking the ground.

Spectators can enjoy the spectacle from a safe distance while a panel of Staff members and Judges will evaluate entries based on decibel level, sound quality, and overall crowd impact.

Winner of this battle will receive the title and award “Exhaust Battle Champion.”
