Maintaining a fresh, positive sales environment is important to retailers in every industry. Consumers are 1.7 times more likely to buy when their information comes from a store instead of online, and in-store displays are a terrific way to give shoppers the information they’re looking for in a dynamic package they can see and touch.

Located at theaamgroup.com/popcatalog, our Point-of-Purchase (POP) Catalog provides an easy-to-browse listing of displays offered by our sponsoring manufacturers. Fully searchable by brand, category, and keyword, the catalog includes important information such as cost, how to order, and dimensions (so you’ll know whether the display will fit in your sales area). The system can even send a message directly to the appropriate manufacturers and warehouse distributors to let them know what you want to order—no more trying to figure out who you need to contact to get what you want.

Energize your showroom today with the industry’s best displays!

Features

  • Make your showroom more dynamic with exciting displays.
  • Search by brand, category, and keyword.
  • Dimensions let you plan out your display space.
  • Automatically message the manufacturer and your distributor about ordering.

The 451-356 AIRAID MXP performance air intake system delivers horsepower and acceleration gains (+16.5 HP on the dyno) for the 2019 Ford Mustang GT 5.0L. The roto-molded replacement air box addresses all the shortcomings of the restrictive factory design, with a premium AIRAID air filter for outstanding air flow and filtration.

This easy-to-install system directs air through a precision computer-modeled air intake tube constructed of cross-linked, high-density polyethylene designed to maintain proper mass air flow readings and calibration. An integrated velocity stack further promotes airflow.

Together, these features create a potent increase in airflow while maintaining proper air-to-fuel ratios (no recalibration needed after installation—just bolt it on and go!). Backed by AIRAID’s No Hassle Lifetime Warranty.

Note: Not legal for sale or use in California.

Features

  • Superior horsepower and acceleration gains
  • Replaces stock intake tubing, air filter, and air box (where applicable).
  • Easy to install using commonly available tools
  • Easy-to-clean, oil-free synthetic air filter
  • Washable and reusable air filter media
  • Installation: 90 minutes with basic tools
  • Warranty: No Hassle Lifetime

Specifically designed for the requirements of very-high-compression boosted or nitrous engines, Ultra Race Fuel Concentrate from Race Gas will generate a racing fuel with an octane rating of 108–112 r+m/2 when mixed with pump gasoline. The formula won the prestigious 2019 PRI Global Media Award, which recognizes outstanding consumer appeal.

Differing from the original Race Gas formulation, Ultra achieves high octane while still meeting the company’s requirements of high chemical energy and oxygen—which is ideal for high-compression engines vs. lower-compression engines or those with lower boost. Ultra-fortified pump gas consistently and repeatably creates the same horsepower and torque as commercial racing fuel under a variety of conditions.

Features

  • For very-high-compression boosted or nitrous engines
  • Produces racing fuel with an octane rating of 108–112 r+m/2 when mixed with pump gasoline.
  • Consistently and repeatably creates the same horsepower and torque as commercial racing fuel under a variety of conditions.
  • Winner of the 2019 PRI Global Media Award

A new and improved version of the popular stainless steel electric exhaust cut-outs from Doug’s Headers is here, now in a 2.25” diameter for more versatile installation capability (and for a lower price!).

The DEC225AK cut-outs feature a rugged gear-reduction 12-volt DC motor and a rotating gate for a seal that prevents leaks every time the cut-out is opened or closed.

A prewired harness with an illuminated rocker switch is included for easy installation. Ideal for racetracks that don’t require mufflers, this product allows you to uncork your exhaust with the flip of a switch on your dash.

Also available in singles and in complete kits with Y-pipes.

Features

  • Uncork your exhaust with the flip of a switch from your dash.
  • Ideal for racetracks that don’t require mufflers
  • Stainless steel electric exhaust cut-outs with 2 1/4” diameters.
