The Power of Catless Headers

Catless headers, as the name suggests, lack catalytic converters. While catalytic converters are crucial for reducing emissions and meeting regulatory standards on public roads, they can also impede exhaust flow and mute the raw, visceral sound of a high-performance engine. By removing these restrictions with catless headers, the engine can breathe more freely, leading to several notable benefits:

Increased Power: Without the constraints of catalytic converters, the exhaust gases can exit the engine more efficiently, resulting in a noticeable increase in horsepower and torque. This upgrade is particularly advantageous on the track, where every ounce of power can make a difference in lap times.

Enhanced Sound: One of the most thrilling aspects of upgrading to catless headers is the transformation in exhaust notes. The GT3’s already potent engine roar becomes even more aggressive and exhilarating, creating an auditory symphony that amplifies the driving experience.

Weight Reduction: Catless headers are typically lighter than their catalytic converter-equipped counterparts, contributing to an overall reduction in vehicle weight. This weight savings can improve handling and agility, further enhancing the car’s performance capabilities.

Armytrix Race Headers: The Perfect Match

Our choice of Armytrix Race Headers for the Porsche 992 GT3 was not arbitrary. Armytrix is known for producing high-quality valvetronic exhaust systems and high-performance headers that are engineered to deliver optimal performance and durability. The compatibility of these headers with both OEM and aftermarket exhaust systems, such as the Armytrix Valvetronic Stainless Steel Exhaust Kit, adds versatility to the upgrade options.

The Armytrix Valvetronic system allows for on-the-fly adjustment of exhaust sound and flow, providing a balance between screaming performance and more tame, neighbor-friendly output. Moreover, Armytrix offers a titanium version of the exhaust kit, which complements the Race Headers perfectly. The combination of catless headers and a titanium exhaust not only maximizes sound output but also reduces weight significantly, contributing to an even more dynamic driving experience.

Should You Buy Them?

In conclusion, the installation of Armytrix Race Headers on our Porsche 992 GT3 represents a commitment to pushing the boundaries of performance and experience. From increased power and a more aggressive exhaust note to weight reduction and compatibility with premium exhaust systems, the benefits of catless headers are undeniable for track enthusiasts.

If you’re looking to unlock the full potential of your Porsche 992 GT3 and experience the thrill of unrestricted performance, Armytrix Race Headers, coupled with their Valvetronic Exhaust System, are a compelling choice.

The Other Option:

Armytrix also offers a street-driving friendly, 200-cell cat option. While it is obviously not as free-flowing as the track-exclusive option, this is very close to the same game.

Top 7 Best Ford Focus ST Mods

If you’re a Mk3 Ford Focus ST enthusiast looking to take your daily driving experience to the next level, you’re in for a treat. In this blog, we’ll delve into the top six best mods that can transform your beloved Ford Focus ST from impressive to exceptional and intentionally built. Whether you’re craving more horsepower, improved handling, or timeless aesthetics, we’ve curated a list of mods that are sure to ignite your passion for performance upgrades. These aren’t just some of our favorites but some of the most popular FoST mods! So, gear up as we explore the ultimate upgrades that will elevate your Ford Focus ST to the next level!

1.) Enkei NT03+M Wheel 18×9.5 5X108 40mm Silver

Owner: @thatfordfocusst Check out this Focus ST for some awesome content!

NT03+M is designed with a perimeter brace ring that enhances the wheel strength so it’s able to resist deformation or distortion from outer forces, resulting in highly accurate steering response and strength. The NT03+M also features a racing twin valve design which allows for accurate monitoring while adjusting the pressure.

MAT PROCESS: Shaping by the MAT process reduces wheel weight by 10%-15%. Every pound of unsprung weight savings has the effect of reducing overall vehicle weight by 20lbs.

MAT Technology Enkei developed a new manufacturing process to produce the next aluminum wheel generation. The Most Advanced Technology (M.A.T) combines one-piece cast wheel technology with a rim forming technology called spinning process. Using this new technology of casting and rim forming by M.A.T process, is critical to improve drastically the material property and strength of the wheels. Rim-Rolled technology shapes the rim to improve material elongation without sacrificing the wheels hardness.

SPEC-E All Enkei wheels are engineered to pass rigorous testing. In fact, Enkei established its own test standard called “Spec-E,” which is tougher than JWL requirements. Enkei’s Spec-E test setting requires a higher drop point in the impact test and 20% more cycles for the rotary bending fatigue and dynamic radial fatigue tests than JWL standards. The Spec-E represents Enkei’s confidence in its technology and quality of Enkei wheels.

3.) Mishimoto Silver Thermostatic Oil Cooler Kit Ford Focus ST 2013-2018

After a few laps on the track or some aggressive street driving, turbocharged 4 cylinder engines like the 2.0L EcoBoost in the Focus ST are known to overheat oil quickly. Even with the stock liquid to liquid heat exchanger, the EcoBoost can still run hot and risk overheating the engine’s coolant. Aggressive tunes paired with some track miles can significantly overheat your oil and wear down your engine. Leave it to Mishimoto to come up with an oil cooling solution for your Focus ST!

The Mishimoto engineers started with a large 19-row oil cooler and mounted it in the front of the vehicle where it receives the most airflow. The oil cooler was mounted on the passenger side as to not interfere with some aftermarket air intake systems. Application-specific braided stainless steel lines transfer the oil from the cooler to the engine and feature -10AN fittings for an easy installation. Mishimoto engineers saw consistent temperature decreases of over 30°F (16.7°C) using our non-thermostatic sandwich plate. This proved that our oil cooler kit can withstand the stress of the most extreme applications.

This oil cooler kit is available with either a Stealth Black or Sleek Silver cooler and your choice of the Mishimoto Oil Sandwich Plate or the Mishimoto Thermostatic Oil Sandwich Plate. As with all our products, this kit includes the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty.

Please note: Mishimoto fully inspects and cleans all products prior to packaging. However, it is recommended that customers flush the oil cooler with one quart of clean oil prior to installation to remove any debris accumulated during shipping. Please feel free to contact us at [email protected] if you have any questions.

7.) GFB DVX Diverter Valve Ford Focus ST

GFB’s DVX takes the extremely popular DV+ Diverter Valve and adds dual venting outlets along with our patented Venting Bias Adjustment System. So not only do you get IMPROVED BOOST HOLDING and THROTTLE RESPONSE, you have total control over your BLOW-OFF SOUND VOLUME!

WHAT MAKES DVX DIFFERENT TO ANY OTHER VALVE THAT GOES “WHOOSH”?

The DVX is not just a noise maker (like BOV spacers) – by modifying the valve operation method it offers the same PERFORMANCE BENEFITS that the DV+ does.

It retains ECU CONTROL for the fastest possible operation.

No other blow off valve has the advantage of GFB’s Venting Bias Adjustment, allowing you to alter the blow off sound simply by moving the adjustment lever.

Built to last.

GFB’s DV+ design solves the longevity and boost leaking issues that are common with factory diverter valves, and also changes the operation method to “pilot actuation” to ensure better performance on stock or modified engines.

Furthermore, these benefits won’t cost you the Earth! Rather than throwing the entire factory diverter valve system in the trash (like other manufacturer’s “solutions”), the DV+ keeps what works, and replaces what doesn’t.

WHAT DOES IT FIT?

The T9654 is a duel venting direct factory replacement for the pneumatic diaphragm type BPV (Bypass Valve) used on Ford, Volvo, Porsche, & Borg Warner Turbos

WHY NOT JUST USE A SPACER?

There are many “BOV spacers” on the market that make noise. However, they do this simply by using the factory diverter valve and redirecting the air to atmosphere. Therefore, the performance deficiencies of the factory diverter valve design remain, and furthermore, the flow capacity of the factory diverter is significantly reduced because of the small venting holes used in these BOV spacers.

ECU VS VACUUM CONTROL

Other BOV kits eliminate the ECU control entirely, using pure manifold vacuum control instead. Whilst there’s nothing particularly wrong with this (that’s how the majority of BOVs work), the ECU control is MUCH FASTER, able to detect and respond to much SMALLER THROTTLE TRANSITIONS and, since it’s available, why wouldn’t you use it?

WHAT’S SPECIAL ABOUT OUR VENTING BIAS SYSTEM?

GFB’s patented Venting Bias Adjustment System is the only one of its kind in the world. By using an internal rotating sleeve, the opening of both the recirc port and the atmosphere port can be infinitely adjusted. This means that you’re not stuck with a fixed 50/50 or 100% atmosphere venting ratio; you can change it to whatever you want! As an additional benefit, because the atmosphere outlet is a single large port rather than a series of small holes, the venting sound is much DEEPER AND LOUDER than it is with a BOV spacer.

THE BOTTOM LINE IS…

The DVX offers a TRUE PERFORMANCE improvement, INCREASED BOOST-HOLDING ability, and a blow-off sound that is COMPLETELY ADJUSTABLE from factory-silent to ear shattering!

2. Skunk2 Mega Power RR Exhaust Honda Civic Si 2-Door 12-15

A properly designed exhaust system is critical to engine performance. Skunk2’s 76mm MegaPower RR Exhaust system for the 2012-2015 Civic Si coupe was developed with this in mind and is based off of more than 15 years’ worth of racing experience. Dyno-proven for maximum horsepower, MegaPower RR systems are constructed of T-304 stainless steel, are robotically TIG welded, and feature CNC mandrel bends for a precise fit. The MegaPower RR for the 2012-2015 Civic Si in conjunction with the Skunk2 Alpha Header for the 2012-2015 Civic Si has seen hp gains above 30hp.

Designed for heavily modified naturally aspirated engines as well as for turbocharged applications that require more exhaust flow than Skunk2’s 70mm MegaPower R Exhausts provide, MegaPower RR Exhausts allow engines to breathe more efficiently and produce more power thanks to larger diameter piping. MegaPower RR Exhaust systems were designed for maximum flow and power, featuring oversized tubing and mufflers, which result in a significantly louder tone when compared to other MegaPower systems.

Featuring Japanese-spec, Super N1 styling, MegaPower RR Exhaust systems generate more horsepower by optimizing engine airflow and volume through carefully selected, application-specific tubing lengths and diameters and increased wave scavenging effects for more horsepower. CNC mandrel bending allows for a constant tubing diameter throughout the bend, which results in precise fitment as well as improved exhaust gas flow. Each system is fitted with a resonator, includes stainless steel flanges, and is finished off with a straight-through, low-restriction racing muffler for uninterrupted flow. Each fully polished muffler is mated to a 110mm polished tip with its own acid-etched MegaPower badge and serialized nameplate. A Skunk2 removable silencer and all necessary hardware are also included.

Skunk2’s MegaPower Exhaust systems are based off of the same systems we custom build for our road racing and time attack vehicles. MegaPower Exhaust systems offer more performance, better build-quality, and the ultimate sound when compared to comparably priced systems.

Fitment:

Honda Civic (Si, Si) 12-15

Notes:

76mm/ 3 inch, Bolt-on system; no welding or fabrication necessary.

May be compatible with other trim levels, however, will require basic welding and fabrication.

Due to large packaging size, shipping rates are calculated based on dimensional weight.

May require modification to factory equipment to allow proper installation.

5. Mishimoto Performance Heat Exchanger Infinity Q50 | Q60 2016+

Drop the charged air temperatures in your 2016+ Infiniti Q50/Q60 with the Mishimoto Performance heat exchanger. Air-to-water intercooling is the wave of the future when it comes to modern turbocharged vehicles, but calls for an additional heat exchanger on the front of the vehicle in order to dissipate the heat. The VR30DDTT equipped in the Q50 and Q60 is quite the performer, but the stock heat exchanger is the weak link in the chain that pulls you along. It’s a relatively small core to be dissipating the heat from two individual intercoolers. On top of that, the plastic end tanks that couple the lines to the core bring durability into question over the lifespan of the vehicle. In our quest to improve the air-to-water intercooling system on your Infiniti, we started by vastly increasing the core size on our Performance Heat Exchanger Design. Our new core design features a 196% increase in core volume and 97% increase in external fin surface area over the stock unit. In addition, our heat exchanger features an all-aluminum, TIG-welded construction for improved durability, as well as a removable outlet port and captive bleeder valve to help with installation. These improvements over the stock design result in a drop in outlet temperatures up to 21°F and cooler intake air temperatures. The Mishimoto 2016+ Infiniti Q50/Q60 3.0T Performance Heat Exchanger also includes the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty for a worry-free installation.

As spring break approaches, why settle for ordinary? Get ready to create unforgettable memories with the Can-Am Maverick X3 Turbo leading the way. Let’s hit the trails and leave ordinary behind! Check out our favorite upgrades and also some setbacks from these upgrades!

1. Agency Power Turbo Upgrade Can-Am Maverick X3 Turbo 2017-2021

Get ready to take it to a whole new level. Picture this: You add a simple ECU flash and exhaust, and bam! Those 3-cylinder turbocharged engines become absolute beasts. But here’s the kicker: After you’ve done all the basic bolt-on mods, the next big move? A full turbo upgrade.

Now, here’s where it gets even better. Agency Power offers a complete OEM replacement turbo upgrade for the Can-Am Maverick X3 Turbo. This isn’t some half-baked modification – it’s the real deal.

We’re talking about a turbo that’s designed to fit like a glove, no messing around. Plus, it comes with everything you need for a smooth installation – silicone adapters, precision-fit oil and water lines, the works.

Now, let’s talk numbers. We’re looking at a 60+ horsepower gain on pump gas alone, with even more potential on race gas with the right tuning and mods. And the best part? You can still keep all your existing performance mods – exhaust system, intercooler, intake, you name it.

So, if you’re ready to take your Maverick X3 Turbo to the next level, this turbo upgrade is your ticket to horsepower heaven. Buckle up, because things are about to get wild.

2. Agency Power Valvetronic Dump Race Pipe Can-Am Maverick X3 Turbo 2017-2023

Alright, listen up, speed enthusiasts! If you’re all about tearing it up on the track or dominating off-road races, then this one’s for you. But let’s be crystal clear from the get-go: the Agency Power valvetronic dump race pipe is strictly for the racetrack. No joyrides on the street, folks. You’ll need to sign our Vehicle Compliance Waiver before getting your hands on this bad boy.

Now, let’s talk game-changer. Picture this: the Agency Power valvetronic dump race pipe – the first of its kind in the UTV scene. Drawing inspiration from our turbocharged marvels like the Porsche 911 Turbo, this race pipe is the ultimate weapon for upping your game. It’s all about boosting performance, cranking up the sound, all while keeping that stock look intact.

So, what’s the secret sauce? By ditching that factory catalytic converter, we’re talking about unleashing a torrent of exhaust flow, giving your turbocharger the freedom to breathe like never before. Sure, it’s a tad louder than stock, but hey, nothing earplugs can’t handle, right?

Hit that button, and it’s like flipping a switch from “mild” to “wild”. That vacuum-operated valve opens wide, redirecting your exhaust straight from the turbocharger. Everyone within earshot will know you mean business.

Crafted from tough T304 stainless steel, this baby’s built to last. Precision welded, CNC machined, and packed with all the bells and whistles you need for a seamless install. Plus, it’s designed to work seamlessly with other aftermarket mufflers, giving you even more room to customize your ride.

So, if you’re ready to unleash the full potential of your ride, look no further than the Agency Power valvetronic dump race pipe. It’s not just a game-changer – it’s a game-winner.

Our intercooler boasts a colossal 12″x11″x4″ bar-and-plate aluminum core, delivering unmatched air volume and maximizing cooling surface area. Oh, and did we mention the fin density?

1. Price

Volk Racing TE37 SL: Generally, TE37 SL wheels are priced at a premium level due to their high-quality forged construction and reputation in the aftermarket wheel industry. Expect to pay a higher price compared to many other wheel options. At the time of writing this article, the average Volk Racing TE37 SL is priced at about $900 a wheel.

GramLight 57CR: GramLight 57CR wheels are typically priced more affordably compared to TE37 SL wheels. While still offering good quality, they may be more budget-friendly for some consumers. The average GramLight 57CR is priced at about $500 a wheel.

Verdict: This is on average a $400 price difference per wheel. To the seasoned automotive-nut, this won’t come at too much of a shock, but remember, most cars have 4 wheels… our brain should operate this equation by 4x. So let’s say, in most cases, the average set of TE37 SLs will be about $1200 more per wheelset. That is a massive investment, but is it worth it? Let’s dive into what is creating this price difference.

2. Build Quality:

Volk Racing TE37 SL: Renowned for their lightweight and durable construction, TE37 SL wheels are forged from a single piece of aluminum alloy. This manufacturing process ensures high strength and rigidity while keeping weight to a minimum. In the world of forged wheels, Volk Racing is arguably one of the greatest. Rays Engineering, the parent company of Volk Racing, has developed one-of-a-kind tooling to mill the intricacies of these wheels. This is something that hasn’t been replicated by any wheel manufacturer on the market. That is one of the reasons for the price.

GramLight 57CR: The GramLight 57CR wheels also offer solid construction, typically utilizing a cast aluminum alloy. While not as lightweight or as strong as forged wheels like the TE37 SL, they still provide good performance and durability for everyday driving and occasional track use.

Verdict: While the process of creating GramLights isn’t as monumental as Volk Racing’s forged wheel, let’s keep in mind, GramLights is also a company of Rays Engineering. Rays Engineering isn’t going to miss the target when it comes to manufacturing wheels and the quality behind them. Build quality comes with purpose in mind.

3. Wheel Purpose:

Volk Racing TE37 SL: TE37 SL wheels are designed primarily for performance-oriented applications, such as track racing and spirited driving. Their lightweight design helps improve acceleration, braking, and overall handling performance. They are favored by enthusiasts who prioritize performance above all else.

GramLight 57CR: The GramLight 57CR wheels strike a balance between performance and daily usability. While they are still suitable for track days and aggressive driving, they are also well-suited for everyday street use. The 57CR wheels often appeal to enthusiasts looking for a combination of style, performance, and practicality.

4. Target Audience:

Volk Racing TE37 SL: These wheels are targeted towards serious enthusiasts and professionals who demand the highest level of performance from their vehicles. They are popular among track racers, autocross competitors, and performance car enthusiasts who prioritize lightweight and strength. If you are looking for arguably the best wheels money can buy, TE37 SLs are sitting at the top.

Competitive Racers

Regular Track Drivers

Purpose Built Cars

GramLight 57CR: The 57CR wheels cater to a broader audience, including enthusiasts who appreciate performance but also value brand name, aesthetics, and affordability. They are suitable for a wide range of vehicles, from daily drivers to occasional weekend track cars, appealing to those who seek a balance between performance and practicality.

Budgeted Aftermarket Purists

Drift Drivers Seeking Regular Wheel Replacements

Occasional Track Drivers

Premium Daily Driver Builds

In summary, while both the Volk Racing TE37 SL and GramLight 57CR wheels offer quality and performance, they target slightly different drivers. The TE37 SL prioritizes lightweight and performance, making it ideal for serious enthusiasts and racers.

Best Front Lip Spoiler for the BMW G87 M2

We recently added the RW Carbon Front Lip Spoiler to this project, BMW G87 M2, and oh boy, it made a world of difference cosmetically! The design language of the front end of the BMW G87 has been far from accepted by auto enthusiasts since its release. With a much more aggressive angles, it’s been rough on the eyes of many BMW fans. We do have some good news for people who actually own the car or plan to acquire one; RW Carbon has made it incredibly simple to give this car a small makeover that really does reimagine the chassis’ appearance to give a traditional BMW M ‘Comp’ appearance and finish.

Top 5 Best Mods for the Infiniti G37

Hey everyone, let’s talk about one of my all-time favorite rides – the 2013 Infiniti G37. Now, I might be biased because I own one myself, but trust me, this car is a gem when it comes to modding.

First off, let’s talk about the basics. The G37 is sleek, stylish, and packs a punch under the hood with its V6 engine. Whether you’re cruising down the highway or hitting the twisties, it’s got the power and performance to put a smile on your face.

But here’s where it gets interesting – the G37 is like a blank canvas for mods. From simple upgrades like intake and exhaust systems to more hardcore stuff like coilovers and big brake kits, the possibilities are endless. And thanks to its solid construction and reliable engine, you can push the limits without worrying about breaking down every other mile.

But what really sets the G37 apart is its community. There’s a whole crew of enthusiasts out there, sharing tips, tricks, and ideas for taking your ride to the next level. It’s like being part of a big, passionate family who all share the same love for pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.

So, if you’re looking for a car that’s not just a mode of transportation but a canvas for your creativity, look no further than the 2013 Infiniti G37. Trust me, once you start modding, you’ll never look back. Let’s jump into the top 5 mods when getting started with a G37.

1.) ESR Wheels CS8 – 19 x 9.5 +22 Offset

ESR CS8 wheels are the ultimate blend of style and performance. These babies are like the icing on the cake for any Infiniti G37. With their sleek multi-spoke design, they are perfect amount of style without being too extra. But it’s not just about looks – these wheels are engineered for performance, lightweight yet tough as nails. Whether you’re tearing up the track or cruising the streets, the CS8s are a great match for the G37 platform. Trust me, the CS8s are a popular choice for the G37 for a reason.

2.) Stillen Stainless Steel Catback Exhaust for G37

Stillen developed a game-changer for Infiniti G37 owners: their catback exhaust system seems to tick all the boxes. And let me tell you, it’s a game-changer.

So, what’s the deal? Well, picture this: you’re cruising in your G37, feeling the need for a little extra oomph under the hood without sacrificing your eardrums to some obnoxious exhaust noise. That’s where Stillen’s got your back.

This Catback Exhaust System isn’t just for show – it’s all about performance. Crafted from Mandrel-bent Stainless Steel, it’s built to last longer than your friend’s Toyota. And here’s the kicker: at idle, it’s as quiet as a mouse, but step on the gas and bam – that signature Stillen growl lets everyone know what’s up.

And let’s not forget about the looks – polished stainless steel mufflers and tips? Yeah, they’ve got that sleek, show-ready vibe down pat.

Installation? Piece of cake. Plus, with a lifetime warranty, you can hit the road with peace of mind.

So, if you’re ready to take your G37 to the next level, Stillen’s Catback Exhaust System is where it’s at. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.

3.) Stillen Generation 3 Ultra Long Tube Intake Kit

If you’re all about squeezing every last drop of power out of your Infiniti G37, you gotta check out Stillen’s latest innovation – the Gen 3 Ultra Long Tube Intake. Trust me, this thing is a game-changer.

So, rewind a bit – Stillen’s been in the game since day one, and they were the first to drop a high-flow intake for the VQ37 crew. Their Gen 1 Short Tube Intake was a hit – decent power bump, killer sound, and easy on the wallet. But they didn’t stop there. Enter Gen 2 with its polished tubes and even more power. Nice, right?

But hold onto your seats, because Gen 3 is here, and it’s a whole new ball game. Stillen’s R&D wizards went all out, testing over 50 variations to make sure this bad boy delivers the goods. We’re talking a radical new design, two big K&N filters chilling in front of the radiator for max cold air flow, and easy-peasy filter cleaning.

And the power? Oh, it’s there. Dyno-tested and approved, we’re talking an 18.5 horsepower gain at the wheels for the G37 Coupe – that’s like strapping a rocket to your ride. Sedan owners, you’re not left out either – you’re looking at a solid 14 horsepower boost.

Now, installation might sound daunting, but trust me, it’s worth it. Yeah, you’ll need to pop off the front fascia clip and maybe widen some holes, but hey, it’s all part of the fun. Plus, you’ll be back on the road in no time, feeling like a boss.

So, if you’re ready to unleash the beast under your G37’s hood, Stillen’s Gen 3 Ultra Long Tube Intake is where it’s at. Say goodbye to stock and hello to serious power.

4.) BC Racing BR Type Coilovers for the Infiniti G37

I’ve got the scoop on something that’s gonna take your Infiniti G37 to the next level – the BC Racing BR Type Coilovers. Trust me, these babies are a game-changer for anyone serious about performance and style.

So, what’s the deal with these coilovers? Well, picture this: you’re hitting the streets or tearing it up on the occasional road course, and you want your ride to handle like a dream. That’s where BC Racing comes in.

First off, forget about preset ride heights – with these coilovers, you’re in control. Easily accessible adjustment knobs let you fine-tune your compression/rebound and dial in your ride height just the way you like it. And thanks to BC’s patented concave lower locking ring, once you’ve set your height, it stays put.

But it’s not just about looks – these coilovers mean business. Pillowball mounts give you maximum feedback from your suspension, sharpening your steering response and giving you that connected-to-the-road feeling you crave. Plus, with BC’s front and rear camber plates, you can dial in the perfect alignment setup without breaking a sweat.

Oh, and did I mention they look damn good too? Sleek, attractive design that’ll turn heads wherever you go.

Features? You bet. Mono-tube shock design, 30 levels of damping force adjustment, pillowball mounts, adjustable camber plates – these coilovers have it all.

And the best part? They’re backed by a one-year warranty and they’re rebuildable, so you know they’re built to last.

So, if you’re ready to take your G37 to the next level, look no further than BC Racing BR Type Coilovers. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.

5.) SPL Titanium Series Rear Camber Links for the G37

Okay, last but certainly not least. If you’re all about fine-tuning your ride, you’re gonna love what SPL Parts has cooked up – their TITANIUM Series Rear Camber Links (RLL). Now, before you roll your eyes and think this is just another car part spiel, hear me out – these babies are the real deal.

So, what’s the deal with these rear camber links? Well, picture this: you’ve lowered your 370Z or G37 to get that aggressive stance, but now your camber’s all out of whack. That’s where the SPL RLLs come in handy. Designed for high-performance street and race cars, they give you the extra range of adjustment you need to dial in that perfect camber and keep your tires wearing evenly.

But here’s where it gets cool – these bad boys are machined from Billet 6061-T6 Aluminum and decked out with Blue Anodized Titanium Hardware. Translation? They’re lightweight yet tough as nails. Plus, with the slotted main arm and 360-degree rotating clamps, adjusting your camber settings is a breeze. No more wrestling with jam nuts – just lock it in and you’re good to go.

And let’s talk about those bearings – 3 piece FK Bearings Rod Ends with a Teflon liner. Smooth, quiet, and low friction, they’ll keep your suspension feeling buttery smooth whether you’re hitting the streets or tearing it up on the track.

Pair ’em up with SPL’s TITANIUM Toe or Mid Links and their Eccentric Lockout kit for total rear camber and toe alignment with “zero-slip”. It’s like having a precision tuning shop in your garage.

So, if you’re ready to take your ride to the next level, check out SPL Parts TITANIUM Series Rear Camber Links. Made in the USA and built to perform, these bad boys are a game-changer. Trust me, your G37 or 370Z will thank you.

BMW G87 M2 Perfectly Fitted w/ VR Forged D09 Custom Wheels

youtube

The BMW G87 has been hot so far for 2024. With many owners starting to mod the platform and try crazy different wheel fitments, VR Forged has entered the game with what we think might be the perfect spec for the G87.

Shown in the photos below is a custom VR Forged D09 in a Satin Bronze finish with a center lock-inspired center cap. Since this is a custom wheel, the customer opted for an aggressive but excellent fitment. We started by lowing the car with a set of H&R VTF Adjustable Lowering Springs. We lowered this car by about 1.25″ all around. The springs allow for 1.75″ of lowering up front and about 1.8″ out back. So, there is room to make this an even more aggressive fitment, but we don’t want to smoke that fresh RW Carbon Front Lip Spoiler just yet. 😉

The Best BMW G87 M2 Aero Kit Has Arrived

The BMW G87 M2 may be the most controversial performance car to hit the market, at least in my lifetime. Not from a performance standpoint either, but controversy surrounding the unique and somewhat blind-sided body language from the M Performance team. BMW has taken us through the wringer with many big changes to their design language in recent updates. The G87 seems to ruffle the most feathers with its square and bulky bodylines that don’t follow much from its older sibling, the F87.

Well, whether you’ve loved the most recent M2 from its 2022 release or have grown to appreciate BMW’s take on the chassis, Vorstiener has entered the conversation with a reimagined carbon fiber aero program that has us wanting to acquire a Toronto Red M2, stat! This is the VRS Carbon Fiber Aero Program. Vorsteiner has always been a staple for creating some of the most stunning aftermarket upgrades primarily focused in the German manufacturing category. Vorsteiner develops outstanding kits for BMW M line with a massive and recent success with reimaging the M3/M4 G8X generation. So much that it’s difficult to see a properly finished G8X that isn’t fitted with a piece from the Vorstiner M3 / M4 Aero Program. While we love the finish of the G8X program, there is something evolving about the new M2 release. If you aren’t aware, the Vorsteiner brand is also the same as Gunther Works; the brilliance behind reimagining the Porsche 911 into what Gunther Werks is. From what I see, this program carries a lot of inspiration from those design concepts for the refinished Porsche 911s. The kit is composed of the following five features:

VRS Carbon Fiber Front Lip Spoiler – Check It Out at Vivid Racing

VRS Carbon Fiber Hood – Check It Out at Vivid Racing

VRS Carbon Fiber Vented Fenders w/ Slated Carbon Side Skirts – Check It Out at Vivid Racing

VRS Carbon Fiber Bootlid – Check It Out at Vivid Racing

VRS Carbon Fiber Diffuser – Check It Out at Vivid Racing

This aero program is sold à la carte and can be creatively acquired one by one or all five pieces to activate the program entirely.

A testament to precision engineering and cutting-edge materials. Crafted with Vorsteiner’s signature carbon fiber, each piece is meticulously manufactured using state-of-the-art aerospace autoclave technology.

This bootlid is a full replacement for your OEM trunk. With the seamless duck-lip style spoiler that has carbon exposed on the inverted backside of the lip, we can’t deny the Gunther Werks aesthetics cross-pollinating with the Vorsteiner design concepts. This extended duck lip compliments the rear end of the G87 very well. The OEM fitment of this bootlid also appears to be spot-on, maintaining proper spacing.

This advanced process ensures unparalleled rigidity, strength, and flawless finish in every aerodynamic component. What sets Vorsteiner apart is their utilization of resin pre-impregnated, vacuum-formed carbon fiber, resulting in a product 20% – 30% stiffer and stronger compared to traditional wet-lay-up methods.

Not only does this technique elevate performance, but it also significantly reduces rejection rates, leading to faster delivery times. Vorsteiner employs a strategic combination of unidirectional, 1×1, and 2×2 weave carbon fiber to achieve the perfect balance between weight reduction and structural integrity.

Thanks to their innovative vacuum-formed technology, excess resin is drawn out during production, effectively shedding unnecessary weight without compromising strength. This meticulous process ensures a precise fit and finish, seamlessly integrating with the factory shut lines and contours for a flawless aesthetic.

With Vorsteiner, you can trust that each carbon fiber component is engineered to elevate both the performance and aesthetics, in this case, with the BMW G87 M2, setting new standards in aftermarket excellence.

Tying this whole kit together is a gorgeous 1-piece front lip spoiler that is breathtaking! If you are running a snug fitment on your G87, on man, this is going to make your car’s stance LOW! It appears to extend the front lip about 2-3 inches closer to the ground, tightening up the clearance for an incredible stance. Appearance aside, I really like what Vorsteiner has done with this front spoiler design. There are tons of thoughtful lines that I would imagine are contributing to some serious additional downforce on this front end. This front spoiler is a must-have.

This mid-split five-spoke design is absolutely stunning on the G8X and G87 chassis’. With an aggressive, bespoke fitment, these wheels provide a flush finish that is perfect. While the spoke design isn’t something that we haven’t seen before, the slotted, aero-disc style is an excellent touch. Vorsteiner designed this with functionality in mind. The machined slots provide cool air to be propelled into the brakes to assist with managing high temps from the brakes. From an aesthetic perspective, we are getting some futurist motorsports vibes. the glossy black finish gives the tires the appearance of some big ol’ sidewall. Personally, I love it.
