My bad guys....forgot to mention that I got a LS3....but geez...u guys really know how to put a spin on things AND make it personal somehow huh?

Anyways, its a real real long story about why I can't/shouldn't take the advice of my tuner/mechanic. In short, to be on the safer side and to have things done legally, we have to get modifications done here in UAE by our dealerships because only they are authorized by the "road and transport authority" to do mods. If your car is modified more than standard stage 1 by a garage who is not authorized by the RTA (Road & Transport Authority), your car can very well be impounded or may not be renewed during renewal of annual registration and in some cases, even deported off to foreign soils upon impounding.

Now...so that leaves me with no choice but to install with the dealership and the problem with the dealership is, the performance specialists there are morons....they know how to do the jobs...but have no idea as to what to recommend in terms of brands or parts. They can do a perfect job as long as the part is at hand. Which is why I ask you guys again....

-SLP TVS2300
-Kooks LTH
-Corsa catback
-Cam-?

Target RWHP - 600 to 650HP
Idle - Mild to choppy

I hope this time the things won't become personal. If it helps...I'm 28 and all I can do is change my CAI....THATS IT!!!

P.S. You guys have no idea how easy you have it there in the US. Here as I said, we r forced to do things with the dealers and they charge us ridiculous prices. I'm having to pay $12k for something I know is available to my doorstep for $7k from SLP themselves and I can't order otherwise. I have to order thru the dealers....its the forced law!!
