Performance parts are upgrades that change how a vehicle sounds, breathes, or responds to the pedal. Cruisin Gold offers performance parts in Melbourne, FL for Brevard County drivers: performance exhaust, Pedal Commander throttle controllers, and cold air intakes. Tell us about your vehicle and what you want to change, and we can tell you what fits.
What performance parts does Cruisin Gold offer?
We offer three kinds of performance upgrades. Each one changes something different, so it helps to know what you want before you choose.
- Performance exhaust. Replaces parts of the factory exhaust to change the sound and how freely exhaust gases flow.
- Pedal Commander. A throttle response controller that changes how the vehicle reacts to the accelerator pedal.
- Cold air intakes. Replace the factory intake path to draw air into the engine more freely.
LOOKING TO COMPLETE YOUR BUILD?
We also offer accessories and suspension upgrades to help improve your vehicle’s style, capability, and overall driving experience.
What does a performance exhaust change?
A performance exhaust replaces part of the factory exhaust system with parts built for freer flow and a different sound. Some systems replace only the muffler and tips. Others replace the piping from the catalytic converter back. The sound can range from a mild rumble to a loud roar, so think about how you drive every day.
Louder is not always better. A deep tone at low rpm can turn into drone on the highway. Federal rules prohibit removing emissions equipment such as catalytic converters, so a legal setup keeps them in place. If your current exhaust is already loud or leaking, see our exhaust and muffler repair page first.
Call (321) 676-0023 or stop by 195 Coastal Lane. Mon-Fri, 8-6.
What is a Pedal Commander?
Pedal Commander is a throttle response controller. It sits between the accelerator pedal and the vehicle’s wiring and changes how quickly the engine responds when you press the pedal. It changes the feel of the pedal, not how much power the engine makes.
Many drivers use one to smooth out stop-and-go driving or to make a heavy truck feel quicker off the line. Most controllers offer several settings, from calmer to sharper. Because it works on pedal response, it is a different upgrade from an exhaust or an intake.
What does a cold air intake do?
A cold air intake replaces the factory air intake with a freer-flowing path that draws air from a cooler spot, often away from engine heat. More airflow can add intake sound and may help throttle response. Gains vary by vehicle and are often modest.
Placement matters in Florida. An intake routed low can pull in water if you drive through deep standing water, and water in an engine can cause serious damage. Tell us how you drive, and ask where the intake sits before you buy. The filter needs care too, so plan for air filter service.
How do you choose the right performance upgrade?
- Start with the goal: sound, pedal response, airflow, or a mix.
- Give us the year, make, model, engine, and trim. Parts are made for specific vehicles.
- Think about how you drive. Daily commuting, towing, and weekend driving call for different choices.
- Plan around the rest of your build. A lift kit, new tires, or a new exhaust can affect each other, so tell us the whole plan.
- Check noise rules and your warranty terms before you buy.
How do performance parts affect your warranty, emissions, and noise?
Aftermarket parts can raise questions with a vehicle warranty. A manufacturer may deny a claim for damage it traces to an aftermarket part, so read your warranty terms or ask your dealership before you modify. Emissions equipment must stay in place under federal rules. Noise limits also apply on public roads, so check Florida’s current rules.
Pair performance parts with regular maintenance
New parts work best on a healthy engine. Keep up with oil changes and scheduled maintenance. If a check engine light comes on after an install, our technicians can scan to find the cause.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Pedal Commander add horsepower?
No. A Pedal Commander changes how the engine responds to the accelerator pedal, not how much power it makes. Many drivers like it for a sharper feel or smoother stop-and-go driving. Tell us about your vehicle, and we can tell you what is available for it.
Will a cold air intake void my warranty?
It depends on the vehicle maker and your warranty terms. A maker may deny coverage for damage it traces to an aftermarket part, so check your warranty booklet or ask your dealership before you install one. For questions about our own warranty, ask us for details.
Is a performance exhaust too loud for daily driving?
It can be. Sound varies by system, from a mild tone to a loud one, and some systems drone at highway speed. Think about your daily drive and any noise rules where you live, and ask us about the sound of the options for your vehicle.
Can I add performance parts to a lifted truck or Jeep?
Often yes, but parts have to fit your exact setup. A lift, larger tires, or new wheels can change clearances near the exhaust and intake. Tell us the full plan, including your suspension and tire sizes, and we can help you choose parts that work together.
Should I add performance parts if my check engine light is on?
Have the light diagnosed first. A warning light points to a problem that new parts will not fix, and new parts can hide other problems. Our technicians can run engine diagnostics, and once the vehicle runs right, we can talk about performance upgrades.
