Headers, High Flow Cats, Tune a pain in Virginia? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I bought some long tube headers and high flow cats at a car show this weekend and called a local speed shop in Northern VA to ask about them installing and tuning. They said no basically. That replacing perfectly good cats in VA is a no-no, and that they know of no place in the area that can tune a Camaro. WTF? I think given this and the fact that I would void the warranty, I should just say, f-it. Maybe I should just go with a Calloway or Hennesy set up package and have at least a warranty in place for the one voided by GM. Whadda ya'll think?

I installed mine myself. Even with all my screw ups it was in retrospect prety easy. As far as tuning Ive seen people in here reccoend Maryland Speed. they are close to us. Or you can look at EB3 in Sterling, they are an SCT dealer and race all the time Im pretty sure they could tune it for you.

I wouldnt worry about any warranty either personaly. You can always put the stock headers back on for any service if youre that worried about it.
