Shoutout to my homie Jeff Gordon(not THAT racecar driver, the other racecar driver) for painting the new grill for the shop truck! If you need bodywork/paint hit him up or his shop Gordon Automotive Specialties! Now I can't wait for the new wheels and the wing to get here! #ford #f150 #coyote #3rdgencoyote #rcsb #2wd #sporttruck #lowered #misfitautowerks #makingmisfits

Yesterday we finished up Tom's MK7 Golf GTI! He brought it in so we could build him a rollbar to compete in hillclimbs, time trials and autocross. Thanks a bunch for trusting it to us! #volkswagen #vw #golf #golfgti #mk7 #mk7gti #veedub #vwlifestyle #vagfamily #turbo #hothatch #racecar #becauseracecar #scca #solo #solo2 #timetrial #misfitautowerks #makingmisfits

Everybody knows how much I love garage art. So when people give me cool things, I get super excited! Josh left the old busted engine cover from his Formula Mazda, now it's hanging from the rafters. And Steve from Skeptik Innovations made this super cool lighted sign for the shop! #formulamazda #mazda #racecar #becauseracecar #skeptikinnovations #shopswag #shopdecor #wallhangers #misfitautowerks

A big thanks to Mateen for bringing us his Mercedes CLA 550 this weekend! That 4.7L twin turbo V8 was just way too quiet and needed a little rumble. So we built him a custom 2.5" stainless catback with an x-pipe, a pair of Aero TR254 resonators and some staggered dual wall tips! Sounds much better now!sound clip in the comments! #mercedes #mercedesbenz #merc #mercedescla #biturbov8 #turbo #v8 #sedan #mb #mercedesfans #mercedeslovers #customexhaust #misfitautowerks #makingmisfits

Thanks to Alex for bringing us her Subaru BRZ! She was sick of it being so quiet, so she had us build her a custom 2.5" stainless catback with a pair of Aero Exhaust TR254 resonators and dual wall 4" tips! Now it has the grunt a sports car deserves! #subaru #subie #subiegang #subienation #subarubrz #boxerengine #custom #customexhaust #stainless #misfitautowerks #makingmisfits

Michael brought in his Focus ST the other day so we could install a 3" downpipe for him and while we were in there he had us delete the resonator from his Magnaflow catback for a little extra noise. Thanks a bunch man! #ford #focus #focusst #focusnation #turbo #hothatch #misfitautowerks #makingmisfits

Shoutout to Hannah for bringing in her new Honda Civic yesterday! She purchased a Borla Type S catback exhaust for it and needed someone to do the install. Luckily we were able to squeeze her in real quick and now she can hear that turbo loud and clear! Sound clip in the comments as always! #honda #civic #civicsport #hatchback #turbo #hothatch #borla #borlaexhaust #misfitautowerks #makingmisfits

We have to stop and give some congrats to our dude Matt! He went down to the Pineville Hillclimb Festival in Kentucky last weekend and took home some hardware for being the fastest front wheel drive car of the event! Congrats buddy! #honda #civic #ek #kswap #k24 #turbokseries #turbo #racecar #becauseracecar #scca #hillclimb #misfitautowerks #makingmisfits #racingmisfits

Thanks to Sean for bringing in his 12th gen Corolla yesterday! This is his autocross machine and he wanted to A.)Make it loud enough to actually hear the engine reving and B.)Wring all of the horsepower he could out of the 1.8L without bumping him up a class. So we removed the stock 1.75" exhaust and built him a new 2.5" staonless catback with a 4" round AP Xcelerator resonator. She even has a little crackle to her now!

Sometimes custom exhaust work isn't building a whole new system, it's modifying what's already there. Such was the case for our dude Alex's Porsche Cayman! You may remember this car from awhile back when it was turbocharged but the engine didn't like that setup. So he had a bigger 3.4L flat six swapped in and wanted some more noise. He hipped us to a trick that alot of the Boxster/Cayman guys use where they cut the bottoms off of the mufflers, pull the baffles out, connect th...e inlet to the outlet with a tube that has a few holes drilled in it and then weld the bottoms back on. While qe were at it, he had us change the wide tip to a pair 2.5" straight cuts painted flat white to give it that old school motorsport look. I have to say that it sounds much more like a Porsche now!

Well folks 2020 is just about in the books. It was a crazy year both in and out of the shop and I'm thankful for how it ended up. Thanks to all of our customers this year! Here's some of my personal favorite cars to come through the shop in 2020. What were your favorites? #porsche #chevorlet #nissan #bmw #bmw2002 #astonmartin #ford #c10trucks #mustang #hotrod #lexus #turbolsx #shelbygt350 #corvette #sohardtochose #andmanymore #misfitautowerks #makingmisfits

We said goodbye to the pandemic project #swedishfishmissile yesterday! The shop's end is done and now it's off to Mo's place to get the wiring and interior finished up. But you know we had to get an exhaust clip of it first! The started is a full exhaust with high flow cat and @stainless_works chambered turbo muffler, then he opens the cutout that dumps under the passenger door. This thing is gonna be so awesome next year! #volvo #brick #bricksquad #turbobrick #volvocars #prancingmoose #quickbrick #engineswaps #ecoboost #ecoboostswap #ecoboostmustang #sixspeed #misfitautowerks #makingmisfits

A diesel truck? With a stock exhaust? What on earth? It may not be the most exciting project we've done lately, but when your buddy needs a hand getting through some work at his shop, you lend a hand! #chevy #chevorlet #silverado #silveradonation #silveradohd #2500hd #duramax #misfitautowerks

Bailey brought in his F82 M4 for a quick secondary/resonator delete. Now it sounds way more aggressive and has all of the crackles and pops! Thanks man! #bmw #bimmer #bimmerpost #bmwgram #f82 #f82m4 #bmwm4 #mcar #misfitautowerks #makingmisfits

It's been so long since I made any roll cage gussets, I almost forgot how! We will make these to order and ship them anywhere! Just hit us up with your sizes! #rollcage #chassis #racecar #racecarprep #mailorderparts #misfitautowerks #makingmisfits

Sometimes when you buy pre-made parts online, they don't quite fit as described. Such was the case with the exhaust Tom bought for his Camaro. It showed up in 11 pieces that didn't quite fit right and leaked at every joint. So he brought it in so I could weld a bunch of this together, making it a 3 piece kit, eliminating rattles and leaks to make it a pretty nice sounding setup! #chevy #chevorlet #camaro #v8 #lsx #lsnation #exhaust #misfitautowerks #makingmisfits

I was really stokes the other day because Eric brought me his Audi RS4 in for some exhaust work! It broke an axle which lead it to destroy the cat pipe on the driver's side. So I built him a set of test pipes ro ho with the AWE full race exhaust that was on it already. Man this thing sounds great! #audi #audilove #audigramm #rs4 #audirs4 #v8 #rarecar #misfitautowerks #makingmisfits Sound clip in the comments!

So the other day I spent some time building a prototype rear bash bar for my dude Joey and his 350Z drift car. Alot of the bars out there currently require you to cut the lower half off of the bumper and leave the bar exposed. He wants to run a full bumper, and have everything that was attached to the bumper now attached to the car to prevent damage to the lights, license plate and trunk popper if he taps the rear end and pops the bumper off. So I took care of that, and added... a jacking point. He also wanted an integrated trailer hitch so he can drag all of his essentials to the track on event days. That's pretty well taken care of also with this design. It needs a few tweaks to be perfect, but he tried it out this weekend and says it all worked out great so far! #nissan #350z #z33 #fairladyz #driftcar #drifting #slideordie #becauseracecar #clubloose #clublooseii #slideways #staysideways #misfitautowerks #makingmisfits See more

Yesterday was a pretty awesome milestone day at the shop! Big Mo's EcoBoost Volvo started up! It's awesome to see projects edge ever closer to completion! For those of you who haven't seen us post about this before, Mo's car is an '84 Volvo 242 turbo that he decided to swap the driveline out for one out of a newer EcoBoost Mustang. Now that it runs, we'll start posting details about the swap and how we made it work! #volvo #brick #volvo240 #volvo242 #volvocars #bricksquad #quickbrick #swedishfishmissile #ecoboost #ecoboostmustang #engineswap #6speed #turbo #misfitautowerks #makingmisfits

A shoutout to Justin for bringing his MKIII Jetta 2.0ABA in so we could swap in a new clutch and shifter bushings for him! It's awesome to see rad era cars still going strong! #volkswagen #vw #veedub #jetta #aba #mk3 #mkiii #jettamk3 #euro #misfitautowerks #makingmisfits

Shoutout to Jennifer for bringing her Corolla hatch back in yesterday so we could install her S~Factor Fabrication front splitter! It gives the front end that extra sporty look! #toyotanation #toyota #corolla #corollanation #steelcitycorollas #hothatch #hatchback #misfitautowerks #makingmisfits

A big shoutout to Thomas for bringing in his Volvo C70 this past weekend! He wanted his car to have dual tips out the back, so we trimmed a new cutout on the passenger side, then built him a custom split dual catback in 409 stainless 3" into dual 2.5" with a pair of Aero Exhaust TR254 resonators and 4" dual wall tips. For anyone who hasn't used these AE resonators and mufflers yet, I highly recommend them! They have a great sound and do alot to quiet the exhaust down for the size of them. #volvo #c70 #5cylinder #turbo #swedishfishmissile #custom #customexhaust #misfitautowerks #makingmisfits #makingmoosefits Sound clip in the comments as always!
