International. Vance & Hines today announced that the company has signed an agreement with Keystone Automotive Operations to distribute Vance & Hines' Cat-Back Performance HoleShot exhaust systems.
This is the company's first line of exhaust systems, designed to fit the most popular models of full-size pickup trucks.
"Keystone is the perfect partner to bring our products to the nation's leading auto parts retailers and installers," said Vance & Hines President Mike Kennedy.
"Its distribution to accessory stores in the United States and Canada will ensure that Vance & Hines fans have easy access to the excellent sound and great looks that the Holeshot series offers."
Joe Rutledge, director of category, speed and performance management at Keystone Automotive, said: "Everyone who knows motorcycling knows the name Vance & Hines.
"This team knows the exhaust and, as with their motorcycle parts, making everything here in America shows how they've stayed close to their roots. Their products are generating excitement in the market and our team has been excited since we saw these products at SEMA."
Building on Vance & Hines' most recognizable designs, the HoleShot series systems add extra styling to great-looking trucks. The series features two exhaust tip options, including its classic Twin Slash cut, as well as the racing-inspired Eliminator tip.
Each HoleShot Series exhaust system is designed to replace the original exhaust systems after the catalytic converter (Cat-Back) to the exhaust tips.
According to the company, the systems keep all emissions control equipment in place, while providing a deeper exhaust note thanks to a turbocharged chamber silencer design that has also been designed to eliminate the nasty "drone" in the cabin.
The company's initial lineup includes systems designed for V8, Ford F150, Ram 1500 and Chevrolet Silverado late-model, half-ton, dual-cab pickups.
All Cat-Back Performance HoleShot Series exhaust systems will be manufactured from high-grade 304 stainless steel with CNC mandrel bending at the company's manufacturing facility in Santa Fe Springs, California.
