| new Products subwoofer Box
Space-saving SubsAlpine's PLT-5 has a built-in 250-watt RMS digital switching mono amplifier and six 5-inch cones whose output is comparable to two 10-inch subs while using 20 percent less space. Instead of displacing air across a single diaphragm, the Tymphany LAT displaces air using a linear array of multiple smaller diaphragms. These smaller diaphragms are fitted into a streamlined cylindrical shape, packing huge amounts of power into an impressively small space that can fit easily behind the seat of a regular cab truck. MSRP for the PLT-5 is $650.

Radials for RoastingDiamond Back Classics, the tire company known for selling authentic big-name whitewall and redline radials, is now making a special run of radial cheater slicks.

The tires are offered with a fully smoothed black sidewall or with a whitewall of any width you like, up to 3-1/2 inches. Prices for these hot-rod tires are just about the same as a pair of bias-ply slicks, starting at just $239 each.
| new Products air Intake
Hh AirAiraid's latest Cool Air Dam intake system for the HHR directs cool outside air directly to an Airaid Premium Filter, the heart of the system. This allows both the 2.2L and 2.4L Ecotec powerplants to get more air, which results in 8 hp and 8 lb-ft of power gain at the wheels. Airaid's new HHR intake system can be installed in less than an hour with ordinary hand tools and replaces the Ecotec's plastic engine cover.
| new Products trailer Hitch
Pure StainlessCheslock Enterprises' newest hitch is entirely stainless steel, which means no rust, no painting, and no maintenance, so it's great in climates that have snow and salt or for you guys that launch boats into salt water. The hitches are fully welded, not stitched, and are stronger than typical carbon steel hitches.
4/8 HemiCorsa's newest exhaust system for the '06 Ram 5.7L was specially designed to accommodate the Multi-Displacement System, which allows the V-8 to operate in four- and eight-cylinder modes. What that means for you is that it's tuned to sound great whether you're full-throttle or sipping fuel. The stainless steel, full mandrel-bent system also flows much better, freeing up 14 hp and 17 lb-ft of torque.
