We work with a variety of materials, including stainless steel, titanium, and mild steel, to create exhaust systems that reduce backpressure, increase flow, and produce that perfect tone that reflects your car’s personality.
3. Suspension and Handling Upgrades
For those looking to improve handling or lower their car’s stance, we offer suspension modifications, including coilovers, camber kits, and performance sway bars. Whether you're setting up your car for drifting, autocross, or just want a more aggressive look, we have the expertise to make it happen.
4. Custom Fabrication and Welding
We pride ourselves on our custom fabrication services, from roll cages to custom intakes and boost pipes. Using the latest welding technologies such as TIG welding and MIG welding, we craft bespoke parts that are both strong and precise, perfect for high-performance builds that demand the utmost attention to detail.

Whether it’s a build for the street, track days, or a show car, we understand the unique needs of these vehicles and have the parts, experience, and tuning knowledge to maximize their potential.
6. Restoration and Maintenance
Beyond performance modifications, we also specialize in restoring and maintaining classic Japanese vehicles. From full restorations of cars like the Toyota Corolla AE86 or Nissan 240SX to regular maintenance and repairs, we ensure these timeless classics continue to perform at their best.
