B8/B8.5 A4/A5/S4/S5/Q5/SQ5 APR 3.0TFSI Carbon Fiber Intake System
The APR Carbon Fiber Intake System is an attractive high-performance upgrade designed to increase performance by letting the engine breathe more freely. The factory intake design has the foundation for excellent performance, but much of this is sacrificed in an effort to meet other design requirements. With requirements set forth for only supporting factory power output levels, low engine sound levels and long service intervals, there is plenty of room for improvement. The APR Carbon Fiber Intake System increases performance primarily by improving mass airflow through the system while still proving adequate filtration. Expect greater horsepower and torque through the power band with a more direct and responsive feel upon pressing the throttle. Sounds from the engine are enhanced and some may even experience better fuel economy depending on driving style.

B8/B8.5 A4/A5/Q5 1.8T/2.0T APR Cast Downpipe Exhaust System
The APR Cast Downpipe Exhaust system is like nothing else on the market. The investment-cast, bell-mouth inlet provides an ultra smooth transition between the turbo's 80mm outlet and the high quality catalyst's inlet. All of the tubing in the system is upgraded from the awkwardly-kinked, 60mm tubing to attractively-brushed, straight-through and mandrel-bent 76mm tubing. The CNC laser cut bracket provides a strong and accurately positioned mounting point to take the weight of the downpipe off the turbocharger, and the internally-corrugated flex section gives the downpipe the flex it needs under engine movement. Finally, the downpipe uses T304L stainless steel components that are TIG welded together with argon back-purging, ensuring the system not only looks great on the inside and out, but stands the test of time. Expect better throttle response, more horsepower and an intoxicating exhaust note, while remaining civilized during normal daily driving.

F87 M2 Coupe Remus CatBack Sport Exhaust
The REMUS cat-back performance sport exhaust for BMW M2 F87 features a bolt-on non-resonated front section paired with a bi-modal performance sport exhaust system, which comes with full EC approval and features 2 integrated valves which are controlled by the onboard vehicle electronics. The exhaust comes as a 4x 100mm quad tip configuration and with 5 different tip set designs.

All internals are also made from T304 stainless steel, which are corrosion resistant and guarantee long-term quality. All REMUS performance sport exhaust systems are covered by a 3-year warranty against manufacturer defects.

Porsche 991.2 IPD Plenums
IPD took delivery of its 991.2 Turbo S and the R & D started the second it arrived at its new home. The new Turbo doesn't substantially benefit from any one particular upgrade, but the sum of its improvements deliver a superior overall Turbo compared to the already impressive 991.1 Turbo it replaces. Yes, we know the latest Turbo is faster with 20 more horsepower but it's the combination of lightening shifts, razor sharp handling and spiritual connection to the vehicle that elevates the driving experience of the extraordinary new 991.2 Turbo. Teamed with the IPD Y-Pipe, IPD raises the performance bar even higher for Porsche driving enthusiasts who seek fighter jet performance from their German Turbo missiles.

VW APR DQ250 Cluth Pack
APR is pleased to present the ultimate clutch pack upgrade for the DQ250 transmission! The APR DQ250 Clutch Packs replace the factory transmission's friction disc and steel plates with an advanced and proprietary design that allows for greater performance. The system goes beyond the norm of simply increasing the disc and plate count, and takes a multi-step approach that not only greatly improves the overall friction engagement area, but does so without sacrificing the total heat-sink material mass of the steel plate. With 40-50% more friction discs, tighter tolerances, carefully specified materials, surface finishes, a proprietary top plate design and more, the clutches hold more torque, prevent premature failure, and provide quick stutter-free high-performance engagement! APR's 3 Step Process involves a 40% increase on numbers of discs, increased diameter of disc size, and an optimized surface design. The result is obvious: a larger engagement area designed to hold more torque!

Lamborghini Huracan Akrapovic Exhaust System
Precision engineered from a high-grade titanium alloy, which is designed to significantly reduce weight and improve handling, the Slip-On Line has bigger main pipes than the standard system and a specially designed X-part (for cross-flow) in the muffler to reduce back-pressure, increasing power and torque levels right across the rev range. The unique growl from the naturally aspirated V10 engine is improved as the performance grows, delivering a distinctive note that thrills the senses, without any unwanted cabin noise. At lower revs and during cruise operation the valves are closed, producing a deeper and sharper exhaust note, but when the revs rise and the valves open, the full passionate soundtrack of the engine is released to show that the Huracán means business. This exquisite system is perfectly finished with four carbon fibre tailpipes, ensuring that this exhaust looks as good as it sounds and performs.

Avant Garde M652
Our newest Advanced Rim Technology (A.R.T) combines monoblock cast wheel technology with a spin forming technology to drastically improve the material property and strength of our wheels. The A.R.T process impacts the micro structure of aluminum by utilizing three hydraulic rollers to apply pressure to form the inner rim area. The rollers move down the barrel applying pressure to compress, stretch, and form the entire wheel barrel producing optimal weight savings while improving material strength. This process actually alters the grain of the aluminum to produce a wheel barrel that is significantly lighter with enhanced strength comparable to fully forged wheels. A.R.T helps reduce the weight up to 25% when compared to a standard cast wheel through this finer and more even aluminum structure. M652 weights for 19" sizes start at 22 lbs/wheel.
|
Vossen VFS5
A new staple in the Vossen VF Series, the VFS-5 is a split five-spoke design that, like the rest of the VF Series, employs advanced flow forming technology to produce a lighter and stronger barrel. The result is a perfect blend between the affordability of a cast wheel and the strength and performance of a forged wheel. A fresh approach to the classic split five-spoke style, the Vossen VFS-5 follows the natural evolution within the VF Series defined by its sweeping lines and sleek spokes. It is currently available in 20" sizes, but 19", 21", and 22" are on the near horizon. Choose between Silver Metallic, a finish light in tone with brilliant metallic depth, or Gloss Graphite which is lustrously dark in tone and elegantly revealing the VFS-5's lines. Vossen Wheels are the perfect accessory for those who are looking to stand out in a crowd, while also maintaining performance, comfort and style

Audi S7 with Milltek Exhaust, APR Downpipe, and RS7 Turbos

Upgrading this S7 with the turbos of its more powerful brother, the RS7, we also added an APR downpipe and Milltek exhaust system to provide both a more powerful system as well as a less restrictive exhaust flow.

Mercedes C63 AMG with Niche Wheels, Wavetrac Differential, and MBH Tune
Stealthy. If you could sum this Mercedes up in one word, that would be the first one we would all suggest. Hidden power. Black out badges. Satin black covering every instance of chrome. Tint all the way around. Wheels that add style but don't shout their presence. A Wavetrac limited slip differential to help put all that power to the ground. All these were done in the name of hiding in plain sight. Just another reminder that you should never underestimate a C63.

Tesla P90D Model S with Custom Wrap, ADV1 Wheels, RevoZport Kit, and Lowering Links

Wrapped in a Satin Matte Blue and fitted with carbon fiber aero pieces from RevoZport, this Tesla shines bright like a rolling diamond. To compliment the color scheme, a one-of-a-kind set of ADV10 Track Spec wheels were designed, with black faces, blue hardware, and a peak-a-blue inner barrel.
