Desperate need Exhaust install and tune

I need a stock exhaust installed and a flash to stock if someone can do this for me I am located in the east bay but will drive to south bay or anywhere near...

I am willing to pay cash! just let me know how much. I need this done this weekend before my Monday morning state referee sign off...


my number is 408-569-8942

Speed Element is closed tomorrow... and EQ Tuning is just way to far...

I have an exhaust you can borrow and you should be able to download a stock map.

Are you sure you'll need a stock re-flash? I think a stock DP will do.

You don't need a stock re-flash to pass SMOG, just a stock down-pipe. Is it a different procedure for the state ref?

Stage 2 passes the SMOG sniffer with flying colors as long as the 2 stock downpipe cats are in place

Passing would depend if they run the diagnostics as well as a standard smog sniffer test on whether your stage 2 tune had the CEL's disabled for cat codes, if it did then you would fail the readiness test.

replacing your cbe has to be one of the easiest things to swap...should take you 10 to 20 minuetes tops..4 bolts if i remember correctly...

technically you will pass smog just fine on a tuned map. Just don't race-car it down to the shop. Nicely drive it there, pass, nicely drive back. Revert exhaust back to extreme and then you can drive extreme.

Do you have an aftermarket downpipe installed on your car or is it just a catback with stock downpipe?

if no one else independent wants to make any cash, i can do swap it for you at my shop in Campbell. 408-340-3144

edit: mornings looking pretty busy right now and i have class from 12-2pm but i should be able to do it for you sometime after that.

also if you need a stage1 tune, i can flash your car tommorow at my house in SJ but Im not responsible if your ecu bricks.
