I live in the clear lake area myself and would still take it to EG. They're not too far off. Just take 45 north to 610 and they're kinda right off 610 288 area

I would price it out at a few locations...you're doing very simple mods and shouldn't over pay for it.

There are dozens speed shops in the Houston area who do good work.

Have you considered doing it yourself? Shouldn't take more than 5-6 hours for intake, headers and catback with nothing more than the most basic set of tools.

And there are just as many who do ****ty work. Take it to EnglandGreen. If you were further north, I'd take it to Vetttech.

Call England Green and set up a time. If you are looking for someone to do it I assume you don't want/can't do it yourself. That's cool as exhaust can be harder than you think especially on your back with one person. Have them do a quick once over and make sure everything else is in order. Have fun with it!

Stephen,

Do you guys do inspections? I took my car to an inspection place today and after he ran over a cone and drug it under my car and then draped the cord over my door paint I left immediately with a few choice words.

I don't think they do, but I think I'd of went to jail today had that happened. You're a more patient man than I.

Too bad, where do you take yours?

I was mad, but he was really apologetic, but kind of also looking at me like I was crazy. I just need a place to inspect my car that respects peoples cars.

I use to take mine off of Bay area to the car wash place when my buddy was the manager. Now that he's not I gotta find a place too.

I drive for 45 mins and go to Parkway Chevrolet. They have a dedicated tech for Corvettes that I trust and he looks after your car like I own it.

Have a great day.

No, we do not do inspections. We send out customers to whoever they are comfortable with.

There is an Inspection Station in a nearby Exxon gas station (near to us) that we send some of our customers to get inspections. He cannot not give you any preferential treatment (it's an official station) but he owns a red C5 so at least he treats your car with dignity.
