Stainless steel inner baffles for long life. Mounts using existing hardware and mounting points. Deep strong sound but measured in decibels, no louder than stock. Improved flow and reduced back pressure produce about 10HP gain at top end, 15 HP through the mid-range. 2 year warranty.

Exhaust Manifold Porting

A careful porting and polishing of the exhaust manifolds. We then precisely mate the exhaust manifold gaskets to the exhaust manifold for maximum flow. Especially effective with Ceramic Thermal Barrier Coating. An excellent alternative where headers are not an option.

Ceramic Thermal Barrier Coating

From Aerospace technology comes this oven baked metallic/ceramic finish that is far superior to ordinary header paints. In salt spray testing where high temperature paints lasted 40-50 hours, the ceramic coating lasted over 5,000 hours. The ceramic thermal barrier finish also coats the inside of the pipe. The thermal barrier will reduce underhood temperatures and testing has shown horsepower gains due to combustion chamber stabilization and increased gas velocity.

Korman High Performance Brake Rotors

Choose gas slotted or cross drilled

Computer controlled slotting helps gasses escape from between the pad and rotor mating surfaces reducing pedal effort and fade. Slots are precision cut to the rotor's wear limit, then the entire rotor is gold cadmium plated. Our cross drilled rotors feature a computer controlled pattern with the holes chamfered to the wear limit. These are also finished in cadmium after machining.

 

Ferodo High Performance Pads

Developed as a non-asbestos street alternative. Formulated with metallic fibers and other inorganic substances that yield a high friction level with good resistance to fade and wear. This competition grade compound is completely suitable for normal street use as the friction level is affected very little by temperature.
