Big thanks to Switzer Performance

Took my car in today for the stage 1 set up. The shop is clean, the people are friendly and it was obvious the guy doing the wrenching could do it with his eyes closed.

The exhaust is a work of art, it's simply beautiful.

My car runs amazing, I couldn't be happier.

Thanks guys

Good stuff, OhioC5!

I thought the L1 package came with test pipes, not cats. Did you get a Switzer tune as well?

Yes, I have their tune as well, I upgraded to the cat system. The extra few hp isn't worth it for me to deal with sniffer test. My Corvette didn't have cats and I always smelled like fuel. Didn't want to take any chances or deal with dreaded E-check.
The car really woke up!

Agreed on the test pipes. Not worth it considering the fumes you're forced to inhale.

I would not worry about it, if you go to the State Rd facility. I have had my car done twice there, on with and once without cats. They just plug in to the ODB-II, if that is clean then you are good to go.

Nice job on the tune and exhaust. I would love to hear it!

Probably another 40-50hp soon... it will start to feel slow in about 2-4 weeks and then you will get that nasty itch!

That's what happened the first time. I bought the car and thought, wow this car is fast. You see how long that lasted. I'll probably see you real soon. Palette nailed it
