At 75whp GAIN and no tranny issues (or Tranny issues addressed ) if it cost $3500 or less, I will go for it.

well we could probably do it for 3500-4k depending on what S/C we chose and other lil factors, but the big prob is as an individual i could not guarentee tranny issues. considering our cars have probs STOCK i dont think comptech could have done that.

but what i can do is promise to test it, on my car of course!
but my car has not had ANY tranny probs yet, so i cant say for sure that you wont. you know what im sayin??

what might be possible is to see if i can do this without having it noticeable by the dealership if you remove it to take it in for warr repair!

(not that I would do that! )

YES!

After driving in California for years and years, and living through past years of infrared smog detectors, CHP road side smog checks, and sneak-attacks by CHP crews at "car meets", I'll want a CARB sticker (or other equivalent doc) on every bloody piece of equipment that can be seen!

I could relate some stories about some kit car owners that some people wouldn't believe...



(IN California, the rules change all the time. Just when you though it was safe...)

Exactly.... U never know when u drive thru a town like ohh say TRACY and some cop decides to pull u over for having a modified exhaust regardless of the fact if it exceeds 95 decibels or not

The more legal all the shit on our cars is the better.

Anyone have the feeling when a manufacturer says "50 State legal" they really mean "It passed California's standards and even god can't pass that!" ?
