Default Headers +

I had RaceProvenMotorsports due my 08 A6 coupe last year. I went with their recommendations of American Racing headers 1 7/8. I also had them install a Vararam air intake,160degree stat, Elite Eninegeering tunnel plate and a computer tune with 5 pulls on the dyno. The car ran good before but now it's really quick. A very noticeable difference. Fran and his crew are very good at what they do and they do it all. Also no sales tax at his place in Delaware. Easy to get to from Philly. Good luck with your decision.

Phoenix Performance in Phoenixville. They also have an inground dyno and probably the best tuner out there to get the most from your mods.

ECS over in Jersey. These guys only work on Vette's so they know their stuff. These are the only guys I let touch my vette.

Another great choice less than an hour and fifteen minutes outside of Philly is Cartek Racing in Garwood NJ (www.cartek.net).
