An in-line performance chip and hand-held performance programmer are electronic devices that, when properly connected to application specific vehicles,  increase the power and performance of the engine.  Chips and programmers deliver increases in torque and horsepower (HP). Exact power gains are application specific; however, as much as 125 HP gains have been demonstrated in the diesel truck world. Gas trucks have shown up to 38 HP increase and in the case of autos, increases of 20 HP have been exhibited. Power enhancing in-line chip module and hand-held programmers ... [Read more]

What is a Cat-Back Exhaust System?

A Cat-Back system is an engineered exhaust system that’s designed to improve horsepower and deliver exciting high-performance sound. The system provides this and much more. Called a Cat-Back system because it is installed behind (or after) the catalytic converter, this system replaces a stock or factory muffler and exhaust pipe arrangement. Since the system comes after the catalytic converter, there is no disruption of exhaust gas emissions and therefore does not change factory emission output.

It increases the volume and the speed of air flowing into the engine and improves air volume and combustion. How does it Work? The aftermarket Cold-Air induction system is aerodynamically designed to channel air in a more direct path into the engine. These design principles allow air to flow faster and in greater volumes to produce a more efficient flow of air to the engine’s combustion chamber. The design also replaces ... [Read more]
