Size does matter! At least in this industry. The size of the wheels to the size of the gap between the wheels and the fenders, to the size of the horsepower gains, all those measurements are what fuel the aftermarket industry. Milltek knows this better than most. Exhaust’s have so many different place where even a slight size increase can help the sound and efficiency of an exhaust. That’s why their 100mm exhaust tips for the Audi B8.5 S4/S5 is so exciting. Those tips are 25% larger than the previous model, and that means a better exhaust all around.

They can come as polished or a black ceramic coated 100mm quad tips. You can choose to have them resonated or non-resonated.

Agency Power Releases 2 New Viper SRT Exhausts (Sound Clips)

When we teamed up with Agency Power to make a new exhaust for our Viper SRT Project Car, we knew we wanted to reduce the weight and refine the sound. Agency Power did all that and more. We wanted to give people who wanted to track their Viper, a gnarly sounding exhaust that reduced the overall weight. Agency Power was able to drop the weight by 20lbs and this catless monster sounds terrifying.

For all the daily drivers that wanted to get people’s attention, but not make ears bleed. Agency Power made a sexy, fully titanium, only 30 pounds, exhaust. This thing cuts the weight of the stock exhaust in half and refines the growl of the stock exhaust into a defined snarl. There’s no mistaking when this thing starts up, or passes you on the road.

If you have Viper SRT that you want to make your own, check out all the parts we have for the Viper SRT. If you want to read more about what we’ve done with our project Viper here. If you like what Agency Power has on display here, you can shop all Agency Power Viper products here. Stay tuned for our next upgrade to our domestic project car. We aren’t done with her yet!

Quicksilver Releases Audio Perfection for Lotus Exige S

Quicksilver is constantly exotic cars and making them speak a different language. The Lotus Exige S, is not only known for its sexy look, but its handling and performance as well.  Quicksilver could leave this track beast alone. They just released their Sport Exhaust for the Exige S. This lightweight system gives the Exige S more efficient flow while providing noticeable improvements in the throttle response. The sound enhancement that the Sport Exhaust provides is incomparable.

Quicksilver specializes in working with the engine to perfect a consistent sound at lower revs while really unleashing the sound at higher rpm’s. But even in the higher revs, the sound is aggressive but crisp and clear. The tip design fills the rear valance perfectly without being too large. There are many unknown benefits to having smaller tips. Adding large shrouds not only adds weight, but can affect the the durability and sound. The weight difference in the OE standard  to the Quicksilver Sport is 5.8 kilos. The weight difference in the OE sport and the Quicksilver Sport is 2.9 kilos. When you’re on the track, that weight can mean seconds off your time.

Quicksilver has released this video to not only show the sound of the exhaust in short, but the sound of the exhaust you can expect for a longer duration of time. So many exhaust videos only give you a sound clip. Quicksilver gives you an idea of what you can expect in the long haul, a terrifyingly crisp and clear sound.

Meisterschaft"s latest Franken Creation for the SRT8

If you’re a race, and outdoor enthusiast like myself, you will appreciate the new Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT 8. Yes, we said Jeep! We aren’t crossing into the 4×4 industry, but in actuality, it’s the SRT that’s crossing boundaries, into the Racing scene. The new SRT 8 still kept the heart of the Jeep, but was refined with race inspirations. A few of the race-like innovations the SRT 8 has to offer is the,

  • 8 speed transmission
  • Paddle shifters
  • Launch Control
  • 6 Piston Brembo Brakes with 15″ rotors in the back and 13.8″ in the front

Even the interior scream luxurious performance car. You get all of this and still keep to the hearty roots of an SUV with the 6.4L Hemi engine roaring under the hood. Even with all these awesome upgrades, the question begs, “What else can we do?” That’s where GTHAUS (Meisterschaft) comes in.

This is the latest addition to Meisterschaft’s ROAR racing series. With the help of a few other aftermarket mavericks this Franken creation looks out of control! Not only does it have the performance of a race car, but now, a thoroughbred sound to go with it. Even with the valves closed, this thing could startle a passerby. But with the valves open… You’re causing heart palpitations to anyone within an ear shot. Don’t take out word for it, check it out yourself.

When you’re done contemplating the financial moves you’re going to make to get this SRT in your garage. Let us know what you thought of it? Are we hyped up for no reason? Or is this thing really as bad ass as it sounds?

GT-R Producing 800 Wheel Horsepower

When our customer sent us these pictures of their GT-R, the apple red of the GT-R was appealing but that’s not what really caught our attention. It was the mod list filled with brands we know are offer the ultimate performance parts, that really made our jaw drop. The first name we saw was Wald. Wald International is know for taking the lines of a car and enhancing them with bold, aggressive carbon pieces. Case in point, the gnarly strakes on this wald diffuser. It makes it belligerent, but not so, that it destroys the desirable look of the GT-R.

APR is the next product we noticed. APR is known for their aero parts, but most of all, their wings. They provide a futuristic look, while still giving you some of the best aerodynamic advantages in the industry. He chose the APR Performance Adjustable GTC-500 Wing. When it comes to racing, every second counts. By reducing lift and increasing downforce, you can gain extra traction during high speed cornering. The other product he got to compliment his wing when it comes to cornering. The Eibach Pro-Kit is the perfect answer for most frequently-driven street cars. Eibach’s legendary springs dramatically improve both the GT-R’s performance and appearance, by making the car lower there for handling better.

The last two are two companies that we have worked with a lot in the past. You can see the name Meisterschaft and HRE riddle all throughout our Project Car Blogs, as well as on a lot of our Vivid Racing Videos. Meisterschaft makes all their exhaust with integrity. You can hear that integrity with every install. The valvetronic option allows you to open it up on the track, while not going deaf on your day-to-day drive. HRE is one of the most popular and well-known names in the game. They offer such versatility and quality with their products, that really any client can find something they like. This client chose the HRE P41′s , check out a video of these wheels here.

After that kind of all-star lineup this thing is pumpin’ out 800 wheel horsepower. We want to know if you would change the mod list or add anything? Tell us in the comment section below or on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram.
