Audi TT 225 and 180Q Exhaust systems

Subtle by design, the Audi TT Quattro stands out by blending in. Underneath the paint, the TT quattro is a serious driving machine with incredible potential.

Oil Catch Cans

Every internal combustion engine has pressure and blow-by gases in the crankcase and valve cover. Some engines do a better job of separating the oil vapors before reaching the PCV (positive crankcase ventilation) vents than others. Most engines don’t, sending a nasty mix of oil vapor and waste gases out the PCV vent and into the intake system. These vapors smother important (and costly) sensors with oil and gunk. In extreme cases, this gunk can build up on the valves killing performance. On a micro level, oil vapors displace oxygen molecules altering air-fuel ratios and effectively lower the octane level of your fuel. ... read more

Vacuum Manifold Kits

The first step to a well organized engine bay is throwing out all those T-fittings! Mis-matched tubing, funny hose clamps, and weird reducers can be things of the past with a vacuum manifold. The concept is simple - one major vacuum source feeds a distribution manifold capable of supplying vacuum to any accessory. Couple that simplicity with a clean look and centralized tubing routes and you've just re-organized your engine bay like a pro racing team. ...read more

1.8T O2 Sensor Spacers

When an aftermarket high-flow catalytic converter is used on a late model car its common to see a CEL (Check Engine Light) come and go. This CEL is usually backed by a fault code that indicates a failed cat. If your new cat is NEW, how could it have failed? Behind the scenes, the factory ECU is comparing the readings from a pair of oxygen sensors to measure the effectiveness of the cat. When a high-flow cat is used the exhaust gases are able to pass by the cat at a much faster rate, disrupting the readings. Our o2 sensor spacer retracts the second oxygen sensor from the direct flow of gases, restoring the balance that the ECU requires when using a high-flow cat. ...read more

O2 Sensor Spacer: $38
