Our service area boasts a 3300 sq ft service area with five 2 post 10k FORWARD low-profile lifts, a waiting room for our customers with TV and comfortable couches, a break room for our employees, an inventory room, a LANAIR Waste Oil Burner, heating and air condition in the office and showroom, ample parking, and much much more.
We also have an extensive array of mechanic’s tools, including specialty tools for many German and Japanese vehicles. Each of these tools allows us to diagnose and repair your vehicle more efficiently. This saves you money and time. Additionally, we have a Miller MIG and TIG welder, Blue Point smoke machine, SNAP On Verus, Autoenginuity Scan Tool, VAG Com, Durametric, and many many more tools.

Earlier this week here at Excelerate Performance we had a brand new 2014 Porsche Targa 991 4S in for some upgrades including GIAC software, and an AWE Tuning exhaust, along with K&N Filters. Just thought we'd share some of the photos from that project.

This pristine 2014 Porsche 991 Turbo S was in our shop for the highly anticipated AWE Tuning performance exhaust with diamond black quad tips.
Here's what the stock exhaust looked like.
With the old exhaust off, the turbos are exposed.
The new AWE Tuning exhaust is installed and we love the aggressive look, exhaust note, and increased performance, which is a far cry from the stock system.
We love the angle the AWE Tuning diamond black quad tips have exiting the car.
It's a challenge to develop an aftermarket exhaust for the great 911. The Akrapovič engineers have prepared a superb system with a dual nature. When the valves are closed, the 911 sounds deeper than stock, but not louder. When the valves are open, expect a completely opposite, pure racing sound, with adrenaline-pumping bangs.
With perfect fitment and no drone, combined with an amazing sound, what more could you ask for?
The noise-control exhaust valves help reduce excess drone. At high rpm the valves open to allow the exhaust to breathe and produce the definitive sound of an Akrapovic Exhaust System.
This wireless receiver allows the driver to open and close the exhaust valves remotely.
By using the optional Wireless Kit, the driver can fully control the exhaust valves, which are controlled by the car’s electronics if no optional part is used. When the valves are closed, the 911 sounds deeper than stock, but not louder. When the valves are open, expect a completely opposite, pure racing sound, with adrenaline-pumping bangs.
The 991 Porsche Turbo S returned for some slight fabrication work. The AWE Tuning black quad tips were pulled out even further to give it a more aggressive look. Keep your eye out for some GIAC software upgrades in the future.
