Performance PartInformation
Induction KitInduction Kits replace your standard air box to allow more air into the engine. This basically allows the engine to burn more fuel and increases power. They change the sound of your engine too making a distinctive rasping note.

You can just replace the standard panel filter with a performance on or if there is one available for your car, get a forced air intake which is one step up from a standard induction kit.

You can find our Induction kits by clicking [HERE]

Sports Back BoxYour original exhaust is made to reduce the sound coming from your car, this baffling stops the gases escaping quickly. A performance or sports back box will let the exhaust gases escape more freely and let your engine "breath" more easily.

Just replacing the back box will make a difference to performance but the next step is a full performance system.

Lowered SuspensionLowering your suspension with a performance suspension kit will improve handling by lowering the center of gravity of the car thus reducing body roll through corners. Besides which, it improves the looks of your car too.
