The interior of your Mercedes-Benz is a beautiful place to be, exquisitely crafted with exotic materials. The years can be unkind to the interior of your car though, and one area that seems to take a lot of abuse is the floor. To keep the carpets protected, Mercedes-Benz offers this set of rubber all-season floor mats. The mats are made of thick, durable rubber, and are sure to contain anything you can throw at them. Genuine parts from Mercedes-Benz means you can be sure that fit and finish will be perfect.

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 ECS Silicone Radiator Hose Kit retains OEM fitment while resisting heat that softens the factory hoses. Upper and lower radiator hoses are included, both in advanced 3-ply black silicone.

No matter how smooth your E8X or E9X non M runs or how tight your suspension setup is, loose and vague shift action destroys all the confidence you have in your driving. The rebuild kits available at ECS include everything you need to rebuild your shifter assembly, from the bushings and clips to the dowel pin. To improve your shift feel from factory, you may also choose to replace the soft factory rubber with virgin Teflon rod, an advanced formula that contains no fillers or impurities, resulting in a long lasting and extremely precise feel.

With a Haynes manual, you can do it yourself; from simple maintenance to basic repairs. Haynes writes every book based on a complete teardown of the vehicle. Haynes learns the best ways to do a job, and that makes it quicker, easier, and cheaper for you. These books have clear instructions and hundreds of photographs that show each step.

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. Over time, the trailing arm bushings wear down, leaving toe-in under-regulated and suspension geometry altered. 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.

Things getting a little flabby south of the hood latch? Is mashing on the "go" pedal producing wheel hop or worrisome driveline vibration?

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.
