Performance Parts 101

Within the automotive industry, the word ‘performance parts’ can be used for various vehicle and truck parts or accessories, that can enhance a vehicle’s performance. The word is usually associated with the aftermarket industry making sense thinking about that vehicle or truck enhancement parts or accessories are usually purchased following the original purchase. This isn’t to state that O.E.M. manufacturers won’t create performance parts, simply because they frequently do.

Products for example Borla Exhausts, K&N Air Intake filters, ReadyLift Suspension Kits, or Bilstein shocks are thought performance parts since they’re produced to boost vehicle or truck performance. However, the O.E.M. exhaust, intake filter, suspension package, or shocks that include the recently purchased vehicles are usually stock parts made to meet standards in a reasonable cost. Someone searching to improve their vehicle or truck’s performance will buy an aftermarket part made to boost performance.

Strictly being aftermarket however, doesn’t classify a vehicle or truck part or accessory like a performance part. Aftermarket products can include seat covers, vehicle covers, bumpers, sun visors, make-specific paraphernalia (for example TRD’s type of Toyota® accessories), and controls covers. These items derive from appearance, comfort, or brand loyalty, not performance. This could make sure they are a vehicle or truck accessory, although not a performance part.

Performance Parts might also play slightly different but overlapping roles in one vehicle or truck to a different. For instance, K&N’s quality oil and air filtration products are for sale to just about any modern vehicle on the planet. However, while lift kits are usually well-liked by Ford®, Chevy®, Dodge® and Toyota® truck proprietors, you’re unlikely to determine a requirement from Mercedes-Benz® or Porsche® proprietors. This isn’t to state that popular Porsche® and Mercedes® parts (aftermarket a minimum of) will always be not the same as the greater popular truck performance parts. Manufacturers are beginning to note and respond to new consumer demands. For instance, Borla, noted for its quality Sports utility vehicle and Truck exhausts, made the mix over and started to provide exhaust systems for Porsche® and Corvette® a couple of years back.
