aFe"s New 911 Exhaust - Aggressive Look & Fierce Sound

The Porsche 911 is an already impressively engineered machine. But when it come to having a race quality 911, you’re going to need some upgrades to compete in the big leagues. aFe is known most for their intakes, also has superior experience in designing race quality exhausts. Their designs ensure that they have plundered every last pony that 911 is capable of. With that, we are proud to announce the early release of the new aFe Stainless Steel Cat-Back for the Porsche 911.  The H6-3.8L is naturally aspirated, so being able to harness and effectively use that aspiration is what aFe’s new cat-back set out to accomplish.

There are two versions of this exhaust. The Stainless Steel and the Stainless Steel with Carbon Fiber Tips. The carbon fiber give the exhaust that aggressive look to go with the fierce sound the cat-back produces.  While the stainless steel is the more traditionally favored look. Want to see more from aFe?

Here’s a video from aFe showing all the features of the new exhaust. Below are pictures of both models of the exhaust. Let us know what you think of the new system on Facebook, Twitter, or Instgram.

New CSF Aluminum Radiators Launched for the Porsche 996 and 997

Finally someone has come up with an aluminum radiator kit for the Porsche 911 and its awesome! Every vehicle we have built has had an upgraded aluminum radiator to keep the temps down from high horsepower engines whether used on the street or track. CSF Radiators has just relased their radiator upgrade options for the 996, 997, 987 vehicles. This includes the Carrera, Turbo, GT3, Boxster, and Cayman.

View more info and pricing here - http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/?manufacturers_id=770

Left and Right Radiators
CSF has listened to the community and have developed the world’s 1st high performance “drop-in” fit replacement for the 911 (996) and Boxster (986). All weak plastic mounting points and end tanks that are prone to breaking under bumper contact or high vibrations have been CNC machined in military-grade aluminum for unbreakable strength. Even better, this unit is interchangeable for both the left and right side bumpers. CSF is the first and ONLY radiator company to CNC machine all their brackets and fittings for the world’s strongest and best drop-in fit radiator featuring an exclusive “B-Tube” technology. Another world’s 1st and exclusive unit from CSF.

“B-Tube” technology – Unlike a regular oval shape “O” type radiator tube, CSF uses a specialy engineered tube in a shape of a “B”. These “B-tubes” are carefuly formed and then brazed over the seam to seal. CSF is able to use thinner and lighter aluminum material (better cooling efficiency) because this design is actually stronger than normal “O” shape tubes that are welded. The design (inlet in the middle of tube that is seam brazed) increases the heat transfer surface area of the tube by approximately 15% over regular tubes. You get the efficiency of 2 smaller tubes vs. 1 large tube within the same space criteria. With “B-tubes” you are able to get “dual liquid laminar flow”

Features:
Drop-in replacement
CNC machined in military-grade aluminum
Interchangeable for both the left and right
Exclusive “B-Tube” technology

Porsche 991 Poses for Niche Ad

Niche was looking for a sexy, sleek car to feature in their ad in the Excellence Magazine.We hooked them up with one of our friends down in So Cal who hooked them up with this breathtaking Porsche 911 Carrera S 991. They used the 991 to feature their latest Monotec design, the T70 Stüttgart wheels. This 991 is sitting on 21×9′s in the front and 22×12′s in the rear, weighing in at 10.3kg. and 12.5kg. respectively. The wheels were finished with hi-luster polished windows and a brushed face. Weight reducing pockets were cut into the backpad as well as our signature undercut spokes seen below.

Niche wheels are a great quality wheel for a elite car. If you’re looking to enhance the beauty of your already jaw-dropping car, Niche wheels are the way to go. The wheel itself demands attention, then you put it on something like this 991 Carrera, it almost unfair how much attention this car will attract. Check out some of the other projects we’ve used Niche wheels on. If you’re interested in the T70′s email us at sales@vividracing.com. To get your own set of Niche Wheels, shop HERE!
