forget the reflash...

up-pipe - $200
downpipe- $150
MBC - $50

you're good to go.

when you find $800 under your couch in the future, get the UTEC.

He really only gave him $3? Holy sheit! That's even worse than simply not paying the guy. Coulda at least gave him an IOU for a beer or something.

cobb's stage 1 is the same price as this qoute, easier to install, safer for your engine, and adds more power smoothly.
I've heard from people who went from a utec to cobbs and said coob had much smoother power delivery.
But hey, everyone has different preferences.

Well hold on ther partner... Check this package out first. Go to www.vividracing.com and look at the vividracing starter package under the VR packages. Ok, so it's $419 but I think it's a good deal.

If you want to deal with Vivid,

I'd advise you check the Vendors forum. It isn't very positive. I've never dealt with them, and based on what I've read, never will.

Vivid is bad. The only thing they are good for is looking at their catalog of stuff. Other then that their prices suck, and their service is even worse.
