Just moved back to CO, need exhaust help

Hello,

My Wife and I recently moved back to CO from NC. I currently have a Alta Turbo Back installed. I love the sound and power its giving but many of you know that CO does not play nicely with Check Engine light to pass emissions. Really going to miss the extra power from the DP

So that being said i want to go back to the stock DP and keep the catback. Well this is where i need help. I need a place to take it to that can remove and install the oem DP and add the extra 2.5" exhaust back to connect to the catback since Alta does not connect directly to the oem dp

Can anyone recommend a good shop to have this done at?

thank you

Jason

I can't help with your exhaust information. Sorry. The only time I needed custom exhaust work, I found a place I wouldn't recommend. It might help to know where in CO you are located, though.

I did want to say welcome (back?) to Colorado! We look forward to meeting you at one of the Mini5280 events!

Why not just swap in an OEM unit for emissions, and then swap back after you pass?
I do that with vehicles to by-pass the crap shoot of Air-Care Colorado.
