With the exhaust system flowing better performance gains are achieved, sound is increased, and turbo lag is reduced. IE engineers guarantee a perfect fit by designing all IE downpipes in-house using the latest technology. Digital scanning is using to scan the entire environment which ensures that there is proper clearance and that all mounting points are in the correct location.

Metal matrix catalysts are higher performance because the matrix web is thinner, allowing higher flow in the same size. Our catalyst is also a very large diameter, allowing a large flow area and maximum power. By being placed close to the turbo, emissions and unwanted unpleasant smells are greatly reduced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTypical aftermarket downpipes use bends or cuts to form the shape of the downpipe; this allows the use of larger piping, but sacrifices flow and often times fitment. Using specialized 3D scanners and software, IE engineers can design odd shapes and sizes to maximize flow and conform into tight spaces without any sacrifices. To accomplish these shapes, sections of the dowpipe are cast manufactured from the digital models. The result is an incredibly high-quality performance unit with a perfect fit and beautiful finish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"shg-c  shg-align-left\" id=\"s-ddd10820-14da-4d0b-be75-74628565bcde\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"shogun-heading-component\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSTOCK STYLE FLEX SECTION:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"s-4f3b4e92-7500-4541-b199-4ce0577c9071\" class=\"shg-c\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-col-grid-mode-on=\"\" class=\"shg-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"shg-c-lg-6 shg-c-md-6 shg-c-sm-6 shg-c-xs-12\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"shg-c\" id=\"s-59816a3a-a9c4-40be-b8a7-48268b8baf09\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"shg-rich-text shg-theme-text-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOften times the most common fail point of any aftermarket performance downpipe is the weak flex section designs.
