Fire & Ice, do you know a dealer who will install these things, mainly the intake? I know you were telling me which dealers you worked with, but would any of them install it for me? One Service Rep. told me it would only be under warranty if I get a dealer to do it...or a dealer that they own to do it. In that case it was Lou Ehler's dealership and I remember you said you worked with Coast Cadillac I think. He said since they own Coast, if I got Coast to install it, then it would be under warranty for at least Lou Ehlers and Coast Cadillac. | That's a racket. LOL!!! Only under warranty if they (Get paid) to put the parts on. Puhleaze. I'm doing it myself. I'll take them off if the engine blows and I need warranty work. |

Hello Rooster: These gains were with ONLY the exhaust and intake. As mentioned earlier, we found the ECU box does not seem to be necessary at this time although we are looking into a plug n play box to more precisely tune the CTS for better power and torque.
Hello Pyro: We appreciate your support and we are only taking the necessary time to ensure a reliable trouble free product with maximum power gains. This intake can be easily installed yourself with basic hand tools and like all our products, we'll be including detailed installation instructions with each purchase. If anyone should have any additional questions or require technical support, please feel free to either message myself or Mark. Thank you. |

PM me or email me if you are local and would be willing to come by to participate in some R&D. Thank you. |

I will look into finding a test car once I have the production pieces on hand and I'll get back to you with our findings. |

| | Cadillac Owners Member Cadillac(s): Cadillac | | | | | Re: 3.6L DI motor gains over 31 rwhp!!! Does the earlier model Corsa exhaust fit the 2008? I live in los angeles and want to come down to your shop to check out the different mods available...do you have any for sale yet? |

|  | AKA ~ Craig Cadillac(s): NONE | | Join Date: Mar 2007 Location: Southern California | | | Re: 3.6L DI motor gains over 31 rwhp!!! I don't believe it does. Our prototype looks very much like the Corsa from the STS/STS-V in an axle-back kit. |
