Cats or Tune?
Ok well right now I am running long tubes, with off road pipes (no cats). Naturally my CEL is on for catalyst efficiency...duh they aren't there!
So I need to do something for NYSI. Should I...
Buy Cats and install...
Do a mail order tune through LG
Get a dyno tune at New Era
Keep in mind I don't trust anyone working on my car except myself, so the first 2 options I would do the work and the last I would not.

Do you mind not having cats? Some dont like the extra fumes from no cats.
If you do not mind not having cats then i would suggest just getting a dyno tune. If you do not like the smell then install some good high flow cats and still get a dyno tune. You will not lose much power at all if you use good cats.

Unless your inspection station monitors your emissions via your OBDII port,,,,your going to need to install CATS.
Your very close to Corvettes of Westchester in NY. Chuck "COW" is one of the BEST tuners in the ENTIRE USA! Thats no BULL. Pay the man the money and he will have the emissions people very happy! If Chuck cant fix your tune,,,NO ONE CAN!
He made my C6 Coupe run FANTASTIC!!!!!!
