There are
currently Wildcat "branches" to fit
some
150 popular
models.
Through its on-site fitment centre,
Wildcat also offers performance upgrades
in a number of stages, including going so
far as transplanting cylinder heads
with improved air flow
characteristics.
Due to the strong association with the
Steve's Auto
Clinic group,
the engineering behind every component,
whether it be an air filter, a gas-flowed
head with bigger valves, or an exhaust, is
of the highest order.
By taking this holistic approach to tuning
the car for its new exhaust, Wildcat
systems consistently improve engine
efficiency, usually resulting in
increased power, sometimes of the order of
12 - 18 percent if a full engine-to-bumper
system is fitted.
Wildcat exhaust systems
carry a four-year warranty
while the branch is
covered for two years.
Wildcat high-performance exhaust components
are available from the
Steve's Auto
Clinic
network nationwide, where they can be
expertly fitted.
Alternatively,
Wildcat's head office has a
fully-equipped fitment centre to
fit systems hot
off the
production line.
"The exhaust aftermarket has changed
dramatically in recent years," comments
Marinus Kuyl of SAC Kyalami.
"The
outlet system is an important part of the
overall mechanical package, and simply
bolting on a tubular exhaust and sending the
customer on his way is no longer possible.
The exhaust has to be developed with an eye
on the engine management system and a number
of other factors, and that's why we've taken
a more holistic approach." |
