Fast Track to Performance: Race-Ready Indian Motorcycle Upgrades from TAB Performance

Looking to unlock your Indian Motorcycle’s full potential? TAB Performance offers race-use only aftermarket parts engineered for maximum horsepower, airflow, and throttle response. From mid-pipes to head pipes, these upgrades are built to deliver race-ready performance for the Indian PowerPlus and Thunderstroke motors.


How Can You Boost Airflow and Power on an Indian Motorcycle?

Airflow is the key to unlocking speed, torque, and throttle response. Upgrading your mid-pipe or headpipe removes restrictive stock components, improving exhaust velocity and reducing backpressure—two things that directly boost power output.


Indian PowerPlus Mid-Pipe: A Simple Way to Improve Acceleration

The Indian PowerPlus Mid-Pipe is one of the most impactful first upgrades for performance-focused riders. It replaces restrictive factory components with a freer-flowing design that:

  • Improves air-flow velocity
  • Increases exhaust efficiency
  • Improves throttle response and horsepower

This upgrade helps your engine breathe easier for faster, more responsive acceleration.



Indian Thunderstroke Header: Upgrade Your Exhaust System for Serious Gains

Designed for Indian models with Thunderstroke engines, the Thunderstroke Header delivers performance where it counts:

  • Increases horsepower
  • Reduces engine heat
  • Optimizes exhaust flow

Better airflow means cooler operating temps and extended engine life, making this a top-tier upgrade for high-performance builds.


Indian 2-1 Header: Max Flow, Max Power

If you're chasing the highest output possible, the 2-into-1 Indian Headers are the race-ready solution you’ve been looking for. Designed to deliver:

  • Enhanced exhaust scavenging
  • Maximum airflow efficiency
  • Noticeable power gains at mid and high RPMs

This is the go-to upgrade for serious racers looking for the edge on the track.
