Performance & Utility Mods That Every Builder Needs

Whether you're customizing a street car, tuning a track beast, or tackling a utility-focused build, the right components make all the difference. From universal silicone hoses to precision-engineered exhaust systems, here are a few essential upgrades that belong in your garage.

1. A Serious Step Up: Velocity Stack Air Filter

When airflow matters, don’t settle for basic. The HPS 6" Universal Round Tapered Air Filter in Red (7" Length, 7.5" Base) with Velocity Stack is designed to smooth and optimize air intake. The integrated velocity stack minimizes turbulence and increases flow, giving your engine a better shot at making real power.

2. Bulk Silicone Hose for High-Heat Builds

For tuners and pros working on multiple projects, the HPS 100 Feet Black 9/16" (14mm) ID High-Temperature Silicone Heater Hose is a shop essential. It’s great for coolant or turbo applications, offering flexibility, longevity, and heat resistance that far surpasses standard rubber hoses.

3. Need a Clean Offset? Coupler It Up

If your custom intake or intercooler setup has an unusual layout, the HPS 1-3/8" (35mm) ID, 4" Long Black 4-Ply Silicone 1/2" Offset Coupler Hose is the solution. Designed for awkward angles or tight spaces, it delivers a snug, reinforced connection that won’t let you down under boost.

4. One-Foot Fixes: High-Temp Vacuum Hose

Perfect for small replacements or custom routing, the HPS 9/16" (14mm) Black 1-Foot High-Temperature Silicone Vacuum Hose is sold by the foot and rated to handle serious heat and pressure. It’s ideal for vacuum lines, emissions systems, or any engine bay clean-up.

5. Secure Your System with a Reinforced Cap

Capping a bypass, heater, or vacuum port? The HPS 1-3/8" (35mm) ID x 1-3/4" Long Black Silicone Reinforced Coolant Hose Cap with Clamp makes it simple and secure. The included clamp ensures zero leaks—even under pressure.

6. Lexus Lovers: Add Some Sound

For owners of the 2014–2021 Lexus NX200t or NX300, the Megan Racing Stainless Steel Axleback System with Dual Tips brings aggressive tone and improved flow to your luxury crossover. It’s an easy way to upgrade both the look and feel of your ride without a full exhaust overhaul.

No matter what you’re building, these parts offer the reliability, performance, and versatility you need to make it your own.
