Default Sneak peak at the new upp twin turbo kit

So we have made some changes!

We have started making some changes to our C5 fender mount twin turbo kit. I would like to give you a peak into one of the changes we have made.

This sneak peak will show you our new down pipe. The down pipe will still be mounted in the same area as the original fender mount kit, but now it has 26 different pie cuts welded together to make one amazing down pipe. This change to the down pipe now brings the pipe closer to the frame rail for more clearance. This means we have made room for a wide array of wheels and tire combinations.

We do offer ceramic coating on all of the hot pipes as well. To help with heat reduction and that sleek look.

Keep following us to see the other big changes to come!!!

Congrats, nice work on the fabrication of the downpipe. Looking forward to seeing how the new design fits.

Good grief that looks like a lot of work. No chance of having that bent as opposed to welding pie cuts?

No we have better control over how close we can keep the down pipe to the frame rail of the C5 for fitment for wheels and turning.

Uh oh. This means I'm going to put the kit (which I already have) on my car, drive around for a while and then think to myself, "Wouldn't it be so much cooler to have the new downpipes with ceramic coating?" And then suddenly money will evaporate from my bank account.

Well played, sir!
