These guys busted some *** over the weekend. They have some parts finalized and a bunch more almost done.

FMIC
Upper Pipe/ Hot-pipe
Front Motor mount
Single tip / race style Exhaust.

Here are some new pics to gander at.

First the Front Mount IC is done and Finalized. A release on this piece will be coming very soon




We have plenty of cores in stock ready to make tanks.


The Front Motor Motor mount insert to replace the sloppy stock unit. These are almost ready to be released








Next the AMS Single Tip Catback Exhaust. We will be making a twin tip but we wanted to release a lightweight Race trim version for those guys that are looking to shed some unwanted weight and put a nice free flowing version on the car. take a look at how unrestrictive this piece is. I actually like the angle tip too.


Please keep in mind this is a prototype piece and might not completely reflect the final catback we choose to release.









Lastly on the slate and just about ready to sell is the Lower Intercooler pipe (which is now the upper on the X). The stock piece was pretty well made but we did see some small room for improvement. If for no other reason to add a little flair to the engine bay.







There ya have it. these guys have been pretty busy here the past few days. These parts should be finalized soon along with some dyno testing and a slew of other new parts!

Nice touch with the resonator on the exhaust. Are you guys gonna offer it with and without it? It will be interesting to see if there are any advantages to running a single 3" exhaust vs. a 3" splitting into two 2.5" or 3" pipes.

My guess would be the radiator and the condenser for the A/C

take the 2nd muffler out of the race style exhaust! if it is a single exit, weight savings in mind piece, i believe you shouldnt put an extra muffler in it.
