Product of the Month
Who: Twins Turbo
What: Thermostat rotator
Rides: 2JZ-GTE Supra

Free up room for your Supra's intercooler setup by rotating the factory thermostat housing with the Twins Turbo thermostat rotator. This piece allows for your lower radiator hose to be moved down behind the alternator and your IC piping to run under the frame rail as opposed to through the fender. Best of all, it keeps the radiator hose away from the header's heat without custom fabricating anything. You can retain the stock lower radiator hose and all necessary hardware that comes with the rotator.

Who: Dme
What: After-cat exhaust
Rides: Mitsubishi Evo VIII/IX, Subaru WRX/STI (2.0 and 2.5L), Nissan 240SX (all)

DME's exhausts are made from mandrel bent, stainless steel pieces that will maximize flow to increase horsepower and torque. Each system comes with a removable silencer and hardware for a quick and easy install.

Who: Alpine
What: IDA-X001 in-dash iPod digital media receiver
Rides: Yours

Strictly for iPod aficionados, the Alpine iDA-X001 is a great compliment to the older generation iPods, connecting direct to your iPod via full speed cable, so you can haul your music library around on the go. The iDA-X001 can also play XM or Sirius radio, HD Radio and any other USB-compatible MP3 players. Since it's Bluetooth-enabled, it's ready to sync with your phone. Keep in mind, this is specifically an iPod media unit, so it doesn't come with a CD drive.

Who: COBB Tuning
What: Performance after-cat exhaust
Rides: '05-07 Subaru Legacy GT sedan

Ditch your heavy, restrictive Legacy factory exhaust for a lightweight COBB exhaust, formed out of a freer-flowing Y pipe section that leads out to split sport mufflers. The muffler tips are also designed to compliment the factory bumper and the exhaust complies with all smog and sound requirements.
