MagnaFlow Universal Catalytic Converters

MagnaFlow universal catalytic converters by Car Sound form the basic building blocks for many applications. The main benefit of universal catalytic converters is that one unit may cover a wide variety of vehicle makes and models. Installing universal converters often requires the use of welding, cutting, and tube-bending equipment that is readily available to most professional installers. They are extremely well made, with features such as: * A ribbed body that minimizes expansion and distortion when the converter heats up. They form a channel that protects the cushioning mat from direct exposure to exhaust gasses, and hold the ceramic catalyst in proper alignment. * A 1/2 in. lap joint where the necks meet the body. The neck does not extend into the converter body, where it could hamper exhaust flow. * Manufactured with separate dies on different sized inlets. Putting larger neck sizes on smaller bodies would reduce the flow of the converter and the quality of the product. * A monolithic honeycomb catalyst. The ceramic is designed for maximum flow and surface area. The coating method is strictly controlled to maintain exact specifications. * Seam-welded close to the converter body for a strong, tight bond. Welding along the edge could allow the converter to expand like the folds in an accordion, allowing the catalyst to move around. * Heavier-gauge stainless steel, tip-to-tip. They do not use inferior mixed weights and materials. * An aluminized or stainless OEM-style ribbed heat shield that creates a rigid wall of protection against heat and adds to the structural stability of the converter.

Dinan Exhaust Valve Remotes

Dinan single exhaust valve remotes let you override the factory exhaust valve operation and fully open (or close) the valve at the press of a button. Directly compatible with 'F' and 'G' chassis BMWs using a single electronic valve—as well as 3rd generation Mini Coopers and late model Toyotas—these remote kits are robust in their potential applications. Once installed, simply press the top button of the supplied wireless remote to open the valve fully and enjoy maximum aural pleasure. Alternatively, when the need arises for the exhaust to be as quiet as possible, press the bottom button on the remote and the valve will close. These remote systems work with both the factory exhaust and any aftermarket system that utilizes the factory electronic exhaust valve actuator. Additional details: * Tested and compatible valve actuators include BMW P/N's 18307851568, 18308686640, 18308632154 and 18308623424. * Opens the factory electronic exhaust valve with the push of a button * Wirelessly remote controlled * Weatherproof housing * Extra-length wiring harnesses for maximum application and routing versatility

Go Fast Bits DV Plus Diverter Valves with TMS Advantage

Go Fast Bits offers DV Plus Diverter Valves with TMS (Turbo Management System) Advantage for a wide range of vehicles, particularly imports. GFB's DV+ solution couldn't be simpler—keep what works and replace what doesn't. GFB expands the DV+ range with a direct-fit solution for the weak factory diverter valve used on many European vehicles. The solenoid coil itself from the factory-fitted valve is great (the ECU opens it faster than any pneumatic valve so why replace it?)—but the weak point is the valve mechanism itself. So GFB's DV+ solves this problem by replacing just the valve parts with an anodized billet aluminum housing fitted with a brass piston machined to exacting tolerances. The end result is sharper throttle response, lightning-fast valve actuation, and it will hold as much boost as you can throw at it. Other manufacturers' products involve replacing the entire system with a traditional pneumatic valve, requiring long vacuum hose runs, additional parts for tapping into the intake manifold vacuum—plus either a different solenoid valve to actuate the pneumatic valve, or a ballast resistor to plug into the OE wiring loom. All these additional items result in a product that is slower, less responsive, more expensive and takes much longer to install. GFB's DV+ solution on the other hand is more responsive, less expensive, easier to install, and doesn't cause compressor surge/turbo flutter. Order the model recommended for your vehicle. Additional notes: * Retains the factory solenoid coil for seamless integration * Replaces plastic valve parts with metal for reliability and strength on chipped engines * Exclusive "pilot-actuated" valve mechanism for rapid response at high boost
