  Exhaust Tunnels 

Between road spray and heat stress, these pieces have a tough fight to survive. We can make replacements for damaged ones, or new pieces to accommodate modified exhaust paths.

  Transmission Tunnels 

Some of the toughest fabrication work may be needed right under your nose (and over to the left or right a bit). This Tiger tunnel is a complex piece of reproduction work that has to maintain both cosmetic and structural integrity.
