Began cleaning and detailing the engine bay, starting with the admintuning intakes

That's a pretty complete set with 1200 CC injectors, Wideband gauge, and the fuel pump all included. What's the HP figures look like for that kit? What turbo and IC is included? Straight bolt on or is there any fabrication required?

I think you may have to work out the fine details with them, but they do this per order per vehicle so it can be done on any model. I'm not really sure what's included, but at least one of them has results from their FB page:

Funds are quickly drying out for me too. They quoted me $300 for the Uprev Reflash and an additional $250 for the custom tune and dyno.

That's actually a pretty good price if it's a reputable shop. Specialty Z and Admin are pressing into the $750+ range for e-tunes.

My local tune shop quoted me $1050 with the uprev license, arc license, dyno inspection, and dyno.

That's....what?

As bad as it it, I don't think I've ever heard a quote as bad as what I was told a custom exhaust would cost....

Looking to get a custom cat back, 2.25'' piping, magnaflow resonated X pipe, Magnaflow straight through mufflers. Nothing crazy.

Shop told me they didn't do mandrel bends (automatic DQ unless they were going to weld all the bends...they weren't) but when he told me $2,700 for a crush bent, cat-back with a resonator and mufflers I thought he was joking....Waited 15 seconds for the punch line before just leaving.

Been trolling in this space for a number of years (without actually getting tuned ), and here's my take-away: In big, broad numbers, an on-site dyno tune runs about $900 to $1000 by the time you're done. You can chip away at that a few hundred dollars, depending on location, shop, licensing, buying or borrowing a cable, etc. And you can certainly knock that down even further with a street tune. But at the high end... yeah, it's a grand.


At that point... might as well Meisterschaft.

Finished off the chrome trim. Need to redo the top part of the front door since I have some wrinkling.

​​​​​​​Damn.. $2,700 is outrageous for the setup you mentioned. There's an exhaust shop in Pasadena, Maryland that offers mandrel bending fabrications. They claim to be the only shop in Maryland with a mandrel bender. Mandrel Bending Solutions

I visited them in November and they quoted me ~$400 for 2.5" from the cats paired with magnaflow resonated x-pipe. 304SS and mandrel bends. I did not clarify, but I assum the $400 quote was without removing my stock mid pipe. If you wanted the midsection straight piped, I would imagine it would be an extra hundred or two.. I would check them out if you're still in the market for a custom setup. You can't just show up though, they require you to make an appointment ahead of time.

I got quoted $4000 for a full custom TITANIUM Exhaust setup. Even that is expensive tbh. I mentioned previously, WRX guys can get a full Titanium catback for $1800 from Cobb. Insane.

I was actually going to pull the trigger with them but they do not use 304SS, they use 409SS (unless they changed since Aug. 2017). I was quoted $750-850 for a 2.5'' cat-back with the Magnaflow resonated X and their inhouse 2-chambered mufflers. Only reason I bulked was due to that 409SS they use. Helps keep the price friendly but MD salt and winters made me skip them. Of course I could've painted the system with a rust preventative but didn't consider doing so until after I put my TS Pro1 on.

GD, that's a lot. I have a similar setup and spent maybe a little over a grand, and that's with my numerous failures included. Mandrel bends are the way to go, but I can't find any in my area. I went crush bent and have no problems so far. If you have HFC's, it may rasp a bit though. I did spray the exhaust with some black paint/rust preventative to hide the ugliness.

You ever get your exhaust situation sorted out? I remember you were having problems with it being too boomy.
