The exhaust pipes are visible just behind the front wheels of the vehicle.
Simple short header pipes bolted onto the engine block heads extend down from the motor and curve upward just before reaching the ground. The engines propel the cars down the track at speeds of over 250 mph.The exhaust system is similar to that of a Funny Car. These engines put out an extremely large amount of horsepower, some at approximately 2500 to upwards of 4000 H.P. Nitrous cars use high octane racing gasoline as fuel while supercharged and turbo cars use methanol as fuel. Normally aspirated vehicles using nitrous oxide have no cubic inch limit but must weigh 2,425 lbs (1,100 kg) with the driver. Both types of forced-induction cars must adhere to a 2,650 lb minimum weight with driver. Cars utilizing forced induction via either a turbocharger, roots-type supercharger or Centrifugal-type supercharger "new starting in the 2020 season" are limited to 526 cubic inches with the turbos having a maximum inlet size of 88 millimeters.

Picking up where the IHRA left off, the NHRA announced that through a partnership with Get Screened America, Pro Mod would become a full-fledged professional class, running a limited schedule but still competing for national event trophies and a world champion.
The IHRA, the first sanctioning body to run the class in the USA, dropped the class in a move to focus more on nitromethane powered vehicles.
The off season between the 20 seasons was the most controversial in years. In Europe, Pro Modified moved from the NDRS to become an FIA class in 2006. The Pro Modified class originated in the UK in 1988, and was followed in the USA by the IHRA a year later. Due to the near-limitless engine/ drivetrain combinations and incredibly lenient rule system used by most Pro Modified racing organizations (for example, no manufacturers matching engine and body requirement), competing teams in this series of drag racing have virtually every freedom to make their car as fast and competitive as it can possibly be. The Professional Drag Racers Association's Pro Modified classes are based on which type of boost is used (turbochargers or superchargers in Boost, while nitrous oxide is in Nitrous). Despite Pro Modified cars being slower than the Top Fuel or Funny Car classes, it has become one of the most popular divisions of the sport because of being full-bodied cars resembling Pro Stock cars with a hood scoop or superchargers being permitted. Usually, the NHRA races Pro Mod cars on the 1/4 mile, resulting in high 5 to low 6 second passes, while the PDRA races strictly on 1/8 mile track setups, allowing for high 3 second-to low 4 second passes. Pro Modifieds can either be raced on 1/4 mile or 1/8 mile tracks. This division has specific rules about engines, components, bodies, etc. 2019 Super Charged Pro Modified Chevrolet Camaro driven by Stevie "Fast" Jackson & Sponsored by Bahrain 1 Racing
