Yeah Miami Muffler is good - I used them for my Audi S4 but I brought most of the parts.. they did a damn good job.

Let me know how Lopez Racing is.. And I'm not sure if they're still down there, but you can probably find Fyntune out in West Kendall - just south of Tamiami Airport.

you CAN tune a tC w/ an safc itll just run to much timing, its not safe. this lopez racing is a joke too 2, as well as miami muff, they do great work for a good price but theyre just not waht i want. im getting my 3'' done with this guy who works privately....still waiting on dezod pipes, should be in any minute.

Hope you get everthing in and get here started tonight.. I love seeing the custom kits more than the bought kits b/c we put more work into ours.. But, probably, just b/c we are to cheap to go spend 5-7K to be turboed. lol

^^ nice double post..

Yeah - Fynetune can be expensive. I just used them for a few dyno runs when I had my S4.

Lots of Evo guys go there though..

Nah - last time I was there at Fyntune, there were about 3 450+whp Evos and a 400whp Subbie..

They're popular because they have an AWD dyno.. and the reason they charge a lot is becasue that dyno is brand new and freakin expensive.

lol ... not everyone goes there because of this one guy named Josh.

Plenty of other tuners know Fynetune - they are not keeping their business afloat because of one Evo owner.

Hell then I must've been the reason all the S.Fla Audi S4s and other Quattros go there..

My car (ex-car) is on their site..

I paid $90 for 3 pulls with wideband.

That's about going rate on an AWD dyno - regardless if you're AWD or not.
