ECS Exact-Fit stainless reinforced brake lines provide more confident and consistent stopping by maintaining consistent brake pressure, long lasting corrosion resistance, and increased protection from failure. The interior fabric mesh of factory-style rubber lines can deteriorate over time, causing the aged materials to expand under hard braking, whether it be highway panic stops or threshold braking at the track. Our lines are braided with stainless steel mesh, allowing expansion resistance. This resistance to expansion creates a firmer pedal, and more direct pedal feel.

Here's a "sound" investment that will give your Audi RS4 a voice worth listening to. ECS Tuning has developed an H-Pipe that replaces the OE resonator, producing a great outside exhaust note that won't drone you out of the interior. As an added bonus, we've personally tested this H-Pipe numerous times on the dyno and found an extra 3-5 hp at 6000-8000 rpm. The H-pipe won't interfere with flapper valves in the rear mufflers. Installation is a cut and clamp affair. Cut out the old resonator; clamp in the H-pipe.

Doing a cooling system refresh, or just replacing worn out and soft old hoses? Why settle for stock when you can get the added life and heat tolerance of silicone hoses?

The camshaft follower found in your Audi 2.0T FSI engine rides on the camshaft and transfers the motion into the high pressure fuel pump. This small part plays a big role in your engine's well being, keeping a barrier and connection point between your camshaft and your high pressure fuel pump. Numerous issues cause excessive wear of the camshaft follower: fuel dilution of the oil, poor lubrication due to low-ZDDP oil regulations, insufficient surface hardening of the cam follower contact surface, to name a few. Check your cam follower often, and keep this kit on hand!

Within the wishbone suspension design, camber and caster are specified by the wishbones, while toe-in is secured by the trailing arm. Bushings support the trailing arms, securing them to the chassis.

Every facet of handling performance is harmed, making the driving experience unpredictable and imprecise. A clever and simple solution to trailing arm deflection is the ECS Trailing Arm Bushing Limiter Set, a brilliant investment for all E83 X3 owners.

The factory-installed intake boot on the E46 M3 uses a ribbed design, connecting the air box and intake manifold at a severe angle. The result is an obstruction and misdirection of airflow, creating turbulence that effectively minimizes intake plenum volume. The ECS Silicone Intake Boot exhibits a less severe angle and directs air across a perfectly smooth surface.
