Default Any tuning shops in the Tampa, FL area?

My high flow cat is throwing a code. I hear O2 sim's have a good chance at failing (is this true?) so I would prefer to just get it tuned out entirely.

Anyone know of a reputable shop in the Tampa area that can do this for me?

Thanks guys!

I havent heard of the simultors failing and I think they only cost about $50 bucks, but if you just want your rear Cats turned off, Stop by my house with a large pie from westshore pizza and a 6 pack of Bass Ale and we'll eat and shoot the sh*t, Ill turn them off in 15 minutes.

Thanks for the offer! I am going to do a bit more research on the O2 sims. I heard from some people that they are prone to failure. I don't want to spend $50 only to have them fail in a few months. I will get back to you!

Thanks again Phil!

I have seen a few simulators fail back in the day, but not often. I did not think anyone was selling them anymore as they were deemed illegal. I remember Caspers Electronics actually buying them back from customers

Just head over and see Phil

I would get ahold of dennis, I heard he moved his shop(redline) over to Tampa. When my car is done it will be going to him. Have alot of ppl who use him. Also Heard slot of good things about Phil. And you can never go wrong with jeremy, if you can catch him with his busy shop
