The belly pans provided for modern Volkswagens have always appeared to be under-engineered, out of place, cost-cutting parts. Many enthusiasts have chosen to run their cars without this protective cover entirely. This decision, however, ignores the unfortunate reality that the belly pan protects several critical engine and drivetrain components. ECS has a much more sensible solution – The Street Shield Skid Plate features corrosion resistant, air-ventilated, 5052 lightweight aluminum, with all hardware, offering complete engine undercarriage protection.

How is Malone Tuning for your VW different than other offerings on the market? Malone tunes are not generic "tuning box" upgrades - a less effective method that often skews OBD2 data causing inaccurate injection and boost data. Malone custom tunes allow for the fine adjustment of boost pressure and fuel supply according to specific RPM points. The result is control over boost spikes, boost creep, and smoke levels. "This tune will make you smile the first time you get on it. This truly is a night-and-day difference from stock." — Customer Review
