This is a full 3″ 304 stainless steel exhaust we developed for the 08+ STi. The system starts with a modified COBB downpipe. Some of the highlights of the system include full v-band connections rather than traditional 2 or 3-bolt flanges. The v-bands allow for easy connect/disconnect of the exhaust components. In between the downpipe and mid-pipe there is a high flow metal core catalytic converter than can be swapped with a race/test pipe for trips to the track. The muffler features a centered inlet and exits into quad tips.
We tested a bone stock 08 STi on our AWD DynoJet, then installed our exhaust and tested it again. Simply installing our exhaust yielded an increase of 30whp and 2 ft. lbs. There was no tuning done to obtain these results, it was simply unbolt the stock exhaust, and install our exhaust.

Here’s a car you don’t see around too much anymore. The owner of this Dodge Stealth R/T has been working on this project for the last few years. One out of the many modifications he made was to switch from the original twin turbo setup to a single big turbo.
To go along with the larger single turbo, he wanted a 4-inch custom turbo-back exhaust. After some strategic planning, we were able to fabricate and fit a full turbo-back 4 inch exhaust under the car, without it hanging too low, or being too close to the drive shaft. This exhaust is one of a kind, and certainly a nice showpiece. It was constructed so all the joints are v-band connections. The cat was installed with v-bands as well, so that our customer may easily remove the cat and install the test pipe we fabricated for him when he goes to the track.
The owner still has some things left on his sheet of modifications to wrap up, and we can’t wait to see the car when it is 100% done!

Here are a few shots of a quick mod we do. In order for the COBB downpipes to mate up to the factory Subaru exhaust they have a neckdown where the downpipe and midpipe meet. Even when you upgrade to a larger cat-back exhaust, the neckdown is still a choking point for the exhaust. By removing the neckdown you remove the choking point, allowing you to reap the full benefits of your aftermarket exhaust setup. In addition to removing the neckdown, when we do this modification we replace the warp and leak prone 2-bolt style flanges with v-band flanges. The V-Bands allow the connection to be more easily serviced, and they hold up better in performance applications, as they are less prone to warping and exhaust leaks.

This car features a custom Verocious Motorsports turbo kit that we put together. The kit was pulled together using the following components:
Verocious Rotated Mount Uppipe
Verocious Downpipe to Magnaflow cat back exhaust
Verocious 3.5” intake
Raw1 Track Series Block with Stock Heads and Cams
TurboXS Top Mount Intercooler
Twin Walboro In-tank Pumps
DeatschWerks 1100cc injectors
FP HTA GT35r Turbo with .82 Tial Stainless Exhaust Housing
Custom Mounted Defi Guages
The car is an animal on the street. With this turbo kit we bumped the stock output from 249 whp and 254 ft. lbs to 380 whp and 365 ft. lbs. There is also more power to be had with this kit, but the car is currently running stock heads and cams and those are the limiting factors right now. The owner is already talking about having some head work done as well as putting a FMIC on the car, and we are very curious to see how those modifications will translate into more power when we have the chance to strap this car back down. We’ll keep you posted.

Here’s a pretty cool project that we just completed, a custom Moto GP inspired exhaust for a Honda Ruckus. If your not familiar with the Honda Ruckus it is a bare bones tube frame scooter that comes with a 50cc engine from the factory. Which means it is as easy to modify as your first BMX bike. The customer who owns this one, has changed just about everything and has turned his Ruckus into a laid out custom. In addition to the cosmetic changes this Ruckus features an engine swap and a big bore kit pushing it out to 180cc’s. Perfect for cruising the beaches!

This car came to us originally with a TRD supercharger kit installed. The owner wanted to swap out the supercharger kit for a turbo set up.
Highlights are as follows:
Dezod Turbo Kit with GT28 Upgrade
AEM FI/C
Vibrant Performance Vacuum Block
Verocious 2.5” to 3” Downpipe into Custom Verocious Exhaust
Verocious Wastegate Dump Tube
This setup is currently putting down 230 whp and 200 ft. lbs @ 9 psi
Future plans for this car include a Turbo Toyotas exhaust manifold, Level 10 valve body and trans internal upgrade and then some 11 second time slips!
