First up is our full Stainless Steel cat-back. Bent, and fabricated start to finish right here in Minnesota. Let's go over the features:
-304 Stainless Steel
-100% Mandrel Bent
-Available with or without resonated Mid-pipe
-Dual Muffler Outlet with 3.5" slash-cut tips
-Fully Tig Welded and Back-purged
-Stainless V-band Assemblies and Sleeve Assembly
-2 Connection Styles (Factory 2.25", and 3" MAP Downpipe)
-Made in the USA
Now lets go ahead and touch on each feature. As mentioned it is a 100% stainless steel, made in the USA system. We source the raw material locally here in Minneapolis, MN which comes to us in straight sticks of 20 feet. From there we cut it down and mandrel bend the material in our facility.
The mid-pipe starts off as 3" , then will split with a Y-pipe to 2x 2.5". After the Y we are giving you the option to run 2x resonators or just have a straight connection to the dual mufflers with 3.5" slash-cut tips out back. I will post pictures of a non-resonated mid-pipe later today, for now there is a resonated version pictured below.
Every product we make in house is 100% Tig welded and backpurged during the fabrication process. This is done at every connection including the connection at the v-band assemblies. We chose to go with V-bands to make installation and removal a painless process. Not only do you not have to deal with nuts, bolts, and gaskets. You never have to worry about buying new hardware and gaskets down the road!
As mentioned above the exhaust will be available in 2 connections. If you are running a stock downpipe and are just looking to upgrade the exhaust, not a problem. We have a reducer that goes from our 3" mid-pipe to the factory slip-fit connection. If you decide to do our full turboback you will be provided with a 3" connection at the end of the downpipe, and the start of the cat-back. This connection will also be a v-band as you will see in the pictures below!

Next up we are going to go over our downpipe offering, here is a quick rundown of the features.
-304 Stainless Steel
-100% Mandrel Bent
-Available in cat-less and catted (High Flow Metal-Core)
-3" Piping
-Fully Tig Welded and Back-purged
-Stainless Steel, turbo-lined flex assembly
-Stainless V-band Assemblies
-2 Connection Styles (Factory 2.25", and 3" MAP Cat-back)
-J-style O2 Sensor bungs
-NO Check Engine Lights
-Made in the USA
Same process is followed as the cat-back in regards to manufacturing. Pictured below is our cat-less version, catted version is available! The downpipe is also available in factory and 3" connections, so no worries if you want to stick with the factory exhaust or are already running an exhaust that has a factory style slip-fit connection, this will swap right in the factory downpipe's place. Our downpipe is 80% one piece, only has welds at the flexjoint, then again at the flanges on either end. Other downpipes on the market have multiple pieces of pipe cut and welded together, this runs a higher risk of cracking and failing later down the road.

Now, we move onto our intake system. We have done about 4 different versions of intakes to see which one performs the best. We weren't looking for just peak numbers here, we were looking for good power gains throughout the whole power band, while keeping intake air temperatures down. All testing was done with the hood closed to simulate actual driving conditions as much as we could. Below is the finalized intake that hit all of our requirements. Again, a rundown of the features.
-304 Stainless Steel
-100% Mandrel Bent
-Available in brushed raw stainless, and wrinkle black
-3" Diameter
-Green Filter USA high flow filter
-100% direct fitment. Reuses all factory connections.
-NO Check Engine Lights
-Made in the USA
Again, same process as all our products. 100% stainless, mandrel bent, and made by our fabrication ninja's. We will be offering this intake in a RAW stainless steel brushed finish, as well as wrinkle black. Feel free to drop me a pm if you are looking for a custom color, anything is possible. The intake is one piece, no extra unnecessary welding. We cnc machined the breather bung, bov recirculation bung, and the intake air temperature sensor bung here in house. This allows you to run all the factory hoses and connections without problem. Making it 100% plug and play intake.
Other companies have been mounting their intakes to the front of the engine. From our testing we found that if you mount the intake to the engine it will allow the intake to move violently in the engine bay between shifts and take off and you run the risk of damaging the intake by rubbing on the body or headlight. We decided to mount ours directly to the body and allow the silicone coupler to absorb the movement from the engine. We use high quality 4-ply silicone couplers, so no need to worry about the coupler fatiguing over time. You will see were we made the mounting bracket in the pictures below.
Onto the pictures!
