Default Where to get headers installed

Come october I'm putting a set of long tube headers, x-pipe, and hi-flow cats on my car. I've got the borla stingers and blackwing intake. MTI installed those for me and while they did a good job, I've heard a couple of shady things about them. I'm wondering where else can I go other than MTI to have the headers and x-pipe installed and to have the car dyno tuned afterwards. I'm not looking for what brand of header as I've already made my decision, I just want to see what my other options were as to where to get everything installed. Thanks for the help yall.

How far are you from LG Motorsports? I'm sure they would do an excellent job no matter which headers you chose to buy.

Good Luck!

About 5 hours away. I really wish I could get up that way but I just can't. I'd kill to go to him or A&A corvette but I just can't.

You can look up Henderson Performance in New Braunfels he can install and dyno your car. He dynoed my car and it is running like a charm. He is good and my 700+ rwhp on a conservative tune will attest to him being a good alternative to MTI.

Jeez, I drove 7 hrs from Memphis to get to them. $500 to install and tune, as I recall.

You could also hit up John Page at 21stCMC in Addision (Dallas). I know your not 5 hours away either if your in College Station. Thats a 3 hr drive or heck less with a vette; did that drive for 6 glorious years of my life Gig'em.

Maybe from college station it ain't 5 hours but from richmond it is. That's where the vette is currently being stored. It's at my folks house. Figured the vette was to nice to drive to college so I'm driving my 01 cummins.

mojo1, I've just heard of some shady things happening at MTI. They did a great job installing my stingers and black wing though.
