This tastefully modified '02 Allroad came to Excelerate Performance for some repairs. The owner of this particular car walked out to his car in the morning to find his airbag in the passenger rear completely deflated. Being a common failure on the C5, the owner decided to take precautionary measures and replace both rear bags. At this time the shocks had an unknown amount of mileage on the shocks, so all 4 were replaced. The front suspension was already equipped with Arnott air bags!

A Military customer came to Excelerate Performance for some goodies. #TeamExcelerate started off with the Magnaflow catback exhaust install. To round it off we flashed the car with APR stage 1 software.
We also want to take the time to mention that Excelerate Performance is a proud supporter of our Military Troops. We say Thank You for your bravery and loyalty to this country in defending our freedom. Enjoy your GLI and its new found sound and power and we will see you soon for round 2 upgrades!

A long time customer of ours is back with another new addition to his stable. This time in B8 S4 fashion. He bought it and immediately brought it to Excelerate Performance for another dose of medicine…. in APR Stage 1 software fashion. The 3.0T Supercharged V6 is already a handful on the street in factory form. The software really brings new life to these already powerhouse engines.

Chiaretto Red metallic with Caramel Nappa Leather Interior; This M5 in rare form is back to Excelerate Performance for some love. Replacing the spark plugs and all the ignition coils will jump start the heart of this V8.

This Volvo S60 R was brought to Excelerate Performance by the customer with future light modification plans. The owner is quite particular about his car and wanted the car to be healthy and up to date before enhancing the performance. Our mechanic performs a smoke test on the car to check for any vacuum and/or boost leaks and replaces the spark plugs.
While performing the smoke test our mechanic discovered a leak in the turbo inlet pipe. The factory piece is made from plastic and is prone to cracking over time mainly because of location and the temperature fluctuation it is exposed to. This a common issue on this particular model and will be replaced with an upgraded silicone unit from IPD.

Mom's secret recipe to #slipclutchsyndrome is a remedy via South Bend Clutch with their Stage 2 Daily clutch kit. The stage 2 Daily kit is a great comfortable solution for this APR Stage 2+ equipped B8 S4.

This RS4 belonging to a long time customer of ours stopped in for software updates and some general maintenance. Naturally this B7 RS4 is equipped with an APR, LLC. Stage 3+ Supercharger kit and HPFP. JHM ceramic coated 2.75 Inch downpipes and catless, non-resonated exhaust with matte black tips and mufflers expel the gasses from this supercharged 4.2L.
