A4/A5/A6/allroad/Q5/TT/TT-S APR Turbo Muffler Delete
All too often OEM components must sacrifice various performance minded characteristics in an effort to appeal to a wide variety of customers. While an enthusiast typically wants better boost response and more power, all while hearing the turbocharger breathe, a non-enthusiast may give up these characteristics for a quieter ride. In the case of the factory IHI turbocharger, a turbo muffler is positioned at the compressor outlet and is designed to reduce engine bay acoustics.  Details

The Girodisc system is a direct replacement for the OE disc. No modifications are necessary. The disc will bolt directly to the car and work with OE calipers perfectly. By upgrading your brakes with lightweight high performance replacements as opposed to a big brake kit, your factory bias is maintained as well as your ABS efficiency. The Girodisc front rotors are approx 14.4lbs vs. 22.5lbs for the stock units. This reduction in rotational and unsprung weight allows for quicker acceleration and suspension response. Details

Fabspeed has been hard at work designing a system for the new Macan S.

IPD's plenums are some of our most popular upgrades for the Porsches that visit our shop and this new plenum is even better. The new 981 Plenums benefits from the internal dimpling effect that are now being implemented on all future IPD Plenums. This internal dimpling allows us to control the boundary layer and maximize air flow. Just like a dimpled golf ball travels farther than a smooth golf ball. Controlled turbulent air creates less friction and "tumbles" over a given area more efficiently.  Details
