CORSA
PERFORMANCE(r) DEBUTS NEW DODGE DURANGO EXHAUST SYSTEM
Created specifically for the Hemi model
BEREA, Ohio - In an increasingly crowded market of full-size
SUVs, the Dodge Durango Hemi stands out from the pack -
thanks to its powerful 5.7L Hemi(r) Magnum(r) engine. Now,
that legendary V8 can sound and perform even better with a
new exhaust system from CORSA Performance(r).
Designed to deliver awesome sound for the Durango Hemi at
full throttle, the new CORSA Dodge Durango Hemi exhaust
system brings some additional "attitude and flair" to the
vehicle, according to Michael Schwartz, chief business
officer, CORSA Performance.
"Though Dodge designers created this SUV to be notably
smooth and quiet, there are times a driver will want to use
all the power that Hemi V8 allows," said Schwartz. "Our new
exhaust is specifically crafted to bring out a bold, brisk,
yet never annoying, sound in everyday driving situations,
with increased horsepower and torque."
Using patented Reflective Sound Cancellation(tm) (RSC(tm))
technology, the CORSA exhaust allows for a full-bodied sound
during hard acceleration and a quiet, resonance-free note at
cruising speeds - perfect for the Durango Hemi's 335
horsepower at 5,400 rpm performance.
The straight-through, non-restrictive design of the CORSA
exhaust means 88.7 percent greater exhaust flow, which
translates into increased horsepower and torque - giving
Durango Hemi drivers even more muscle from their engines.
Crafted in the U.S.A. from 3-inch 304L stainless steel, the
new CORSA Dodge Durango Hemi exhaust system is 50-state
emissions legal, does not void the new vehicle warranty and
carries a limited lifetime warranty. The CORSA Performance
exhaust system for the Dodge Durango Hemi is also compliant
with the SAE J1169 Sound Level test requirements enforced in
some states. It comes with dual rear exit Pro-Series 4.0"
polished stainless steel tips. Complete installation
hardware and an illustrated installation guide are also
included.
The Dodge Durango Hemi exhaust system can be purchased
direct from CORSA Performance.
Focusing on the development of proprietary technology, CORSA
Performance employs patented Reflective Sound Cancellation
technology in its performance automotive exhaust systems.
CORSA's 100% stainless steel cat-back exhausts are
specifically tuned to each vehicle to eliminate passenger
cabin resonance and to produce just the right sound. CORSA
offers performance exhaust systems and accessories for cars,
trucks and SUVs. For more information, contact CORSA
Performance, 140 Blaze Industrial Parkway, Berea, OH 44017,

was touring the Denver Auto Show, looking at the 05 Magnum with the

hopefully Mopar will give us something more than chrome and mufflers
for the Hemi. But I did see some of the limited edition Rams

KEYSTONE
RESTYING PRODUCTS AIR GRABBER GENUINE GOOD HOOD(tm) NOW
AVAILABLE FOR 2002-2004 DODGE RAM
Toledo, OH (August 2004) - Taking its design cues from the
classic hot rods of the 60s, the new Air Grabber Genuine
Good Hood(tm) from Keystone Restyling Products allows
drivers of Dodge Ram pickups both to improve the performance
of their vehicle and to customize its looks at will.
Simply by flipping a cab-mounted electric switch (which can
be mounted anywhere, including a hidden location), drivers
can activate the Air Grabber Genuine Good Hood scoop,
opening it or closing at any time - even while driving. In
the closed position, it innocently resembles a stock hood.
However, when the actuator switch is flipped, the 14 x
15-inch Air Grabber scoop rises four inches above the plane
of the hood, popping up into the air stream to become a
true, functional ram-air inlet. In that position, it feeds
cool, dense air to the engine to give it an instant power
and performance boost.
"We look to the muscle car era for inspiration when
designing new products like the Air Grabber hood for the
contemporary light-truck market, as these vehicles have
become today's hot rods," said Alan Golding, president,
Keystone Restyling Products. "Enthusiasts usually must
choose between a styling upgrade and a performance boost
when adding a new hood to their truck. Typically, they
couldn't get something that does both - until now."
Keystone Restyling Products' Air Grabber Genuine Good Hood
(part number GHD-107) is available for 2002-2004 Dodge Ram
trucks. It's made from high-strength fiberglass composite,
with steel reinforcement for added durability. It installs
easily on the factory hinges with no modifications and
incorporates a full underside panel to give the vehicle a
complete, finished look. Dodge Ram Air Grabber Good Hoods
are supplied complete with instructions and an installation
kit, in a gel-coat finish that's ready for easy
"prep-n-paint."
Celebrating 50 years of automotive aftermarket excellence,
Keystone Restyling Products, Inc., designs and manufactures
top-quality restyling products, including Genuine Good
Hoods(tm), Good Hood Scoops(tm), running boards, air dams,
roll pans and rear aerowing spoilers, for a wide variety of
domestic and import cars, trucks and SUVs. To find a
Keystone Restyling dealer in your area, call (888) 575-3453,
or visit www.keystonerestyling.com . For more information,

Avenue, Toledo, Ohio, 43617, 419-539-7120. |

deep. CompetitionEL gauges feature a 2" diameter face (2.06" bezel
diameter), 2" housing diameter and measure only 2.7" from the back
edge of the bezel to the longest stud.

BEDRUG(r) WORKS HARD FOR HARD
WORKING PROFESSIONALS
OLD
HICKORY, TN - A twinge of regret pulls at Larry Garrison as his 1997
GMC pickup speeds away, its new owner behind the wheel. "It was like
a little buddy, it was my helper," he reflects. Eyeing the truck as
it disappears from sight; Larry gives a final salute to his partner
of five years - his 1997 GMC BedRug(r) bedliner.
Like all hard working professionals, Larry Garrison, a
superintendent with construction and metal building contractor
Hawkins Development of Nashville, Tenn., relies on his equipment, as
much as his skill, to be successful. For Larry, success begins with
BedRug, the "Ultimate Plastic Bedliner."
"I used my BedRug for more than four years, and I'll never buy a
hard liner again," says Garrison. "230,000 miles and I never had a
problem with it. It's unbelievable. It's as durable as concrete."
Manufactured by Wise Industries, Inc., the BedRug is made from
polypropylene fiber bonded to water-resistant, closed-cell
polypropylene foam. BedRug's rugged, non-skid surface looks and
feels like carpet - but is entirely plastic; it will not absorb
liquids, will not stain, and is always easy to clean. The liner's
foam bottom conforms to the ribs of the truck bed to create a level,
cushioned surface ideal for transporting valuable tools and
equipment or hauling mulch, lumber, sand or gravel.
"My BedRug took more abuse than my truck," Garrison admits. "I
carried tool boxes, scrapers, shovels and rakes everyday, but never
put a tear in it. When I drove with a gasoline can in the bed, it
stayed right where I put it. And when I did spill oil or diesel fuel
on it, all I did was run it through the car wash to get it looking
like new again."
Wise Industries makes a BedRug for virtually all domestic and import
pickup trucks, regardless of cab and box configuration. It installs
in less than one hour, using only hook and loop fasteners, with no
special tools required. Guaranteed "Tougher Than Your Truck," the
BedRug is backed by a complete customer satisfaction warranty.
Since parting ways with his '97 GMC, Larry Garrison has moved on to
a 2004 model pickup. Though equipped with all the amenities of a new
truck, Garrison can't help but feel something is missing.
"It won't be complete until it has a BedRug," he says.
For more information call toll-free 800.462.8435; contact Wise
Industries, Inc., at P.O. Box 149, Old Hickory, TN, 37138; visit the
