Cold Air Intake
A cold air intake is an aftermarket engine upgrade that helps to increase power and fuel efficiency of your Dodge Charger/Challenger. It increases the amount of air that is drawn into the engine, allowing for a more efficient burn of fuel. In addition, the air is cooler, which helps to reduce the temperature of the engine, further improving its efficiency and power output. Cold air intakes are usually installed on the side of an engine bay and draw in air from outside the vehicle. The colder air is denser and contains more oxygen, resulting in a more efficient combustion of fuel. Cold air intakes also help to reduce the amount of heat generated by the engine, which can reduce engine wear and tear over time.
Benefits of Cold Air Intake:
- Increases power and fuel efficiency of Dodge Charger/Challenger
- Draws in air from outside the vehicle
- Colder air is denser and contains more oxygen, resulting in a more efficient combustion of fuel

Limited Slip Differential
a limited slip differential can improve the performance of your BMW M series car by providing better traction, more control, improved handling, and better launches. A limited slip differential can transfer power to the wheels with the most traction, which can improve acceleration and cornering. This is because an LSD will prevent one wheel from spinning excessively, thereby transferring more power to the wheel with better traction. With an LSD, you have more control over your car in high-speed cornering situations. This is because the LSD will transfer more torque to the outside wheel, which helps keep the car stable and prevent understeer or oversteer. LSD can also improve the handling of your car by reducing the likelihood of wheel spin, which can cause a loss of control. The LSD can also help reduce the amount of body roll during cornering, which can improve overall stability. With an LSD, you can get better launches from a standing start. This is because the LSD will transfer more power to the wheel with better traction, which can reduce wheel spin and improve acceleration

Upgrading to a performance suspension and sway bar system can greatly improve your BMW M series handling, traction, steering response, and customizability, all of which can lead to a more engaging and enjoyable driving experience. A performance suspension and sway bar system can improve your car's handling by reducing body roll, improving cornering grip, and reducing understeer or oversteer tendencies. This allows your car to stay more planted and stable during aggressive driving, which can lead to faster lap times on a racetrack or improved driving confidence on the road. A performance suspension system can help keep your car's tires in better contact with the road surface, which can improve traction and acceleration. This is because a stiffer suspension will help keep your car's weight transfer more controlled during hard acceleration or cornering, which can prevent wheelspin and improve overall grip. Upgrading to a performance sway bar can improve your car's steering response by reducing body roll and increasing the amount of weight transfer to the outside wheels during cornering. This can improve your car's turn-in response and give you more confidence to take corners at higher speeds.

Performance Exhaust
A performance exhaust system is an aftermarket upgrade that replaces the stock exhaust system with a higher-performing exhaust system. A performance exhaust system can provide noticeable improvements in engine performance, especially when combined with other modifications such as a cold air intake or engine tuning. A performance exhaust system typically has larger diameter pipes and fewer restrictions than a stock exhaust system, which allows for more exhaust gases to flow out of the engine. This can increase horsepower and torque, especially at high RPMs. A performance exhaust system can improve the scavenging effect, which is the flow of exhaust gases out of the engine. This helps to remove exhaust gases from the combustion chamber more efficiently, which can increase engine power and efficiency. A performance exhaust system can reduce back pressure, which is the pressure that builds up in the exhaust system as a result of the exhaust gases flowing out of the engine. Reducing back pressure can improve engine performance by allowing the engine to breathe more freely. A performance exhaust system can also improve the sound of your vehicle, giving it a more aggressive or sporty tone. This is achieved by replacing the stock muffler with a high-performance muffler or by adding a resonator or other sound-enhancing device.
