Where to get my work done?? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

phitauford · 10-17-2005, 09:56 PM

Okay, so I'm looking for a good shop to get work on my car done. I'm looking to get an up and down pipe installed (god knows i can't do it myself). Any Subaru owners have a good experience with a speed shop in the area? Any other makes have an opinion?

I did a search, but didn't find anything that was helpful on this topic. I did see some smack talk about Colonial Subaru . . . got my LGT there, but not impressed with their kindness to "young" guys.

not to knock the other guys on here, i don't have any experience with them... most people with a sube will most likely tell you precision tuning in brick, nj

I'll second the mention for Revitupmotorsports.net. I got some work done there. Good guys.

If you just want an uppipe downpipe installed....myself and Troll can most likely fit in in our schedules to do it for you. Let me ask him and ill get back to you.

I can say that Revitupmotorsports.net are good guys who know what they are doing. I stopped down to there shop last night very nice and easy to deal with. I saw them working on 2 cars when I was down there and they def have there act together. Also met some customers thats have gotten plenty of work done there and they were back down there getting more done.

x2.... different strokes for differant cars and folks. Downpipe and uppipe arent a major install, and I would take up teh dirts offer.

That's what I understand. I need to get my pipes still . . . not sure what to do about that. I'm deathly afraid of not passing inspection if I go un catted.

TROLL let me know that there is no sniffer test and the CEL can be fooled, but what about a visual? I don't know.

TehWagon · 10-19-2005, 03:38 PM

i believe one of the dp's is made to look catted... is it perrin? can't remember... ask around for that one... and you could always go with a high-flow cat in your exhaust...

Almost every dealership, Subaru and others, I went to when car hunting treated me like crap because I was young'ish. I believe treating people under 25 years old like crap at dealerships is in the car salesman's handbook.

phitauford · 10-19-2005, 03:52 PM

Thanks for the info. It's ashame that dealers treat us like that. Like my $$ is worth less than someone older. I don't get it . . . just not good business.

US_R33 · 10-19-2005, 05:38 PM

as for emissions in PA......there is no longer a sniffer test for OBD II cars...they just plug the emissions computer into your DLC (data link connector) and so long as you don't have any codes thrown, you don't have any pending codes, AND all of your readiness monitors are okay you'll pass emissions. with the new system unless you get a "green" shop to test your car they're not going to performm a visual on the car.....time is money ;)

when i had my spec i didn't have any cats on it at all, you could smell how rich it ran and i passed emissions w/o any issues what so ever.....i just needed an O2 simulator for my downstream O2 sensor and i was good to go

It's not that your money isn't as good. It's just an assumption that since you're young, you don't have any money. I'm sure that the dealerships that have this attitude have had their time wasted at some point by someone who was young and didn't have any money, but it's pretty stupid and likely has cost them money to just assume that about all young people.

That's just bad customer service. Whenever I encounter that, not only will I go out of my way to not spend my $$ there, I make a point to tell other people about it.

Vypurr · 10-19-2005, 08:17 PM

Yes, they are correct about the emissions. I have NEVER seen a mechanic look at a DP for a cat. They will always just assume its there unless you are throwing a code!

phitauford · 10-19-2005, 08:19 PM

niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice. Thanks for the info. In that case . . . catless it is. I'm gona need some help making sure my car is set up to "fool" the computer come April.
