Reds Racing presents the new 1/8 on-road TQ exhaust system with an EFRA 2069 extra lightweight pipe and new Torque manifold. The 100 percent Italian-made pipe offers an extremely light weight and it is ideal for racers who seek the absolute maximum. The TQ pipe reaches the best performance with the new Torque L manifold which allows to increase the low and mid RPM range power with both the M7T and M7WC engines while maintaining a restrained consumption. The pipe is also doing very well in combination with the traditional M, L, and XL manifolds.
