Build Your Own Stainless Steel Exhaust
In the world of custom builds, the farther you stray from bolt-ons, the less likely you'll find a solution on the shelves that will fit and work exactly as you need. That's why we've launched our Universal Exhaust System program that helps provide you with the same high-quality stainless steel exhaust piping and accessories so you can tailor your spent gas exit to your needs with a brand you trust.
LIQUI MOLY - Fuel Additives
LIQUI MOLY is not only our favorite producer of lubrication and additive products, but they hold the title as the best oil producers in Germany: for seven consecutive years. A major part of any service is often a frequently forgotten one: using proper flushes and additives to ensure buildup and sludge are eliminated with maximum effect. LIQUI MOLY is a leading producer of oil additives, engine flushes, and fuel system cleaners, so we have picked out exactly which of their products your car needs to maintain peak performance at all times.
Functional Aerodynamic Carbon Wing
Our ECS Tuning in-house designed and engineered Functional Aero Rear Wing Kit is an all-in-one solution to providing your car with more downforce necessary to improve rear tire grip for improved handling. Our well thought out kit includes all of the components necessary for a comprehensive install and feature top-tier quality components for long term durability, such as the carbon fiber wing, billet aluminum mounting brackets and uprights, Delrin decklid shims and black oxide stainless steel hardware. The spoiler has an adjustable AOA (angle of attack) between 0� - 20�; to perfect downforce:drag ratio. The end plates are adjustable for aerodynamic needs and the Delrin decklid shims provide for a flat plane to bolt onto your trunk, if it has a sloped angle.
The perfect way to unleash hidden horsepower in a modern turbocharged engine is to upgrade the restrictive factory downpipe with a smoother, higher flowing unit. This is a great way to increase performance and add a sophisticated growl to the exhaust note. Ideal performance is achieved through expelling exhaust gasses at maximum velocity through a larger diameter, freer flowing downpipe due to smoother bend radius, larger internal diameter and a less-restrictive catalytic converter.

Upgrading your MK5 or MK6 with a Front Mount Intercooler is an effective way to decrease charge-air temperatures and increase performance potential but that also requires you to retain the original intercooler since that carries the A/C condenser, radiator, and fan shroud. Naturally, that reduces the airflow to your bigger intercooler and robs you of optimal efficiency. Our new OEM Intercooler Delete Brackets allow you to ditch that old intercooler while retaining your radiator, condenser, and fan shroud for a sleek, lightweight, and free-flowing performance intercooler upgrade.

For many, driving a stick shift is more than just a rite of passage: it represents an understanding that some things are just better left to the driver and an unwillingness to relinquish any control over the driving experience. We feel the most connected to our cars when we change gears, so the first place to make that connection even stronger is right there on the shifter. Our brand new Weighted Shift Knobs for your Audi or VW manual transmission are designed with the sentiments of connection, engagement, and satisfaction placed at the forefront of their development.
ECS Forged Carbon DSG/Auto Shift Knob
ECS decided that just because your car doesn't have a third pedal you shouldn't have to be stuck with the factory shift knob. This shift knob is made of forged carbon to give it a unique look compared to the other non three pedal shift knobs on the market. Installation is simple and utilizes set screws so you can maintain your factory shifter release mechanism. Instead of pressing the button on the factory knob you lift up on the collar on the bottom of the knob to put the vehicle into gear. For installation you simply to remove your shift surround and remove the old shift knob then use the supplied pieces in the kit to maintain your shift release mechanism functionality.
It’s no secret that Volkswagen's suffer from weak, failure prone rubber trailing arm bushings. The stock rubber bushings are designed to allow significant movement of the rear wheels and to absorb road impacts. This compliant design maximizes daily driving comfort and helps add to the “luxury” feeling of your VW, but it also contributes to the numb, disconnected feeling that many enthusiasts complain about with modern cars. Not only is the OEM design far from ideal for the street or racing enthusiast that is looking for optimal handling and braking performance, the constant twisting and deflection required of the rubber bushing often causes premature failure, resulting in degraded handling, wheel shimmy, delayed turn-in response, delayed braking response, unwanted alignment change, and poor tire wear. For the rest of us who enjoy seeing what our car is made of, these types of bushing simply won’t cut it. Introducing the new ECS Tuning Rear Trailing Arm Monoball Bushings! The ECS Engineering team set out to design a solution that offers a far superior bushing when compared to OEM, requiring no modification and offering nearly instantaneous cornering, accelerating and decelerating response for the absolute best road feel and driving experience possible. Our monoball bushings utilize a sealed OEM Mercedes-Benz ball joint for exceptional quality and durability. The bearing assembly is precision CNC machined from 6061-T6 anodized aluminum and features a knurled OD to ensure a perfect press fit and the longest lasting component life possible. By utilizing a sealed ball joint, ECS achieved the ultimate in terms of low friction no bind suspension travel with no unwanted deflection, providing exceptional cornering response, and prompt acceleration and deceleration feedback; all while maintaining exceptional comfort and durability levels making these an excellent no compromise upgrade even for a street car. These trailing arm monoball bushings are a must have for any track car, but are also completely street-able and are a great upgrade for any enthusiast that enjoys spirited driving.
Our ECS Tuning in-house engineered billet aluminum shift knobs have been carefully designed and tested to bring you one of the highest quality and greatest interior enhancements available.

New ECS Rear Subframe Brace MK5/6/7
The factory rear subframes in the VW MK5, MK6, and MK7 are perfectly capable of withstanding everyday commutes but are woefully ill-prepared to handle beefier sway bars, stiffer suspension components, and aggressive driving. We found a sturdier solution: With the ECS Rear Subframe Brace you can reinforce the subframe at the sway mounting points to ensure the added pressures of hard driving and stiffer components will be deflected through our brace rather than deflecting the rear subframe.
