No no.. HOB did the car originally. The car was brought to us to iron all the bugs out. There were severall issues that we had to address. Fuel system, exhaust, tune and various other issues. The HOB f2 kit is pretty nice in my opinion. So kudos to them for a nice kit.

Cool, but what kind of exhaust problems did they have? Its pretty simple isn't it, especially on Corvettes that already have a dual exhaust. Just install headers and the supporting 3"or 3.5" X or H pipe and cat back right? Or did they just want you guys to install that part of the build? Nice numbers BTW I first saw one of there(HOB)F2 kits on a white C5 a while back looks REAL NICE.

3" exhaust on a C6 with a 4l80 is a no go. 2 1/2" is the max that will fit around the trans. That's the reason for the electric cutouts and ovalized tubing in my trans tunnel.

So, you put the catless mid pipe on it. Did something with the fuel system. Oh, and changed the tune. Yep, looks like a full ground up build to me... But you guys do this all the time. I mean, take what someone ells built and put your two cents in and call it your owen. What did you really do to the car?

can you not ****** read dude? they never said they built the car.too many haters on this forum its pathetic. if this is the same guy that ran flaco in his turbo gmc you need to go stack your chips and throw some more money into that c6 to be able to beat a truck rather than hating up on the internet forums.

I never post negative comments about other shops and the work they do. I dont need to. That is why I dont mention anything in my orginal post.

You are pretty funny. I have no reason to talk bad about other shops and will not start now. House of boost did a great job on this blower setup and never said they didnt. READ MY ORIGINAL POST. Its funny you say this, because it seems like EVERY week we get another shops so called bad *** build. If it was soo bad *** from the orginal builder, why do they keep showing up at our front door with their pocket books open?
