SEMA Global Media Award: Valvetronic Designs Hex Pipe

Presented by an international panel of automotive journalists evaluating entries from the SEMA New Products Showcase, the SEMA Global Media Award honors new products with standout innovation, craftsmanship, and commercial appeal across global enthusiast markets.

Selected from thousands of competing aftermarket releases on the show floor, the Valvetronic Designs Hex Pipe stood out to international judges for its distinctive geometric design and performance-focused engineering. The recognition underscores Valvetronic Designs' reputation for rethinking traditional exhaust architecture to deliver unmistakable sound, visual impact, and real-world enthusiast appeal.

SEMA Data Gold Award: Benchmark ACES & PIES Catalog Precision

Alongside its product hardware win, Valvetronic Designs received the SEMA Data Gold Award, the premier distinction for product information management and fitment data quality in the automotive aftermarket.

Valvetronic Designs achieved Gold recognition by maintaining complete, rigorously structured product and fitment records built to ACES (Aftermarket Catalog Exchange Standard) and PIES (Product Information Exchange Standard) specifications. With all catalog fields fully populated across the entire Valvetronic Designs lineup, wholesale distributors, dealers, and data receivers have direct access to the most accurate, comprehensive fitment and product specifications in the industry—streamlining catalog integration, minimizing fitment guesswork, and helping partners bring Valvetronic Designs products to market faster.
