In fact, Kenne Bell DOES have authorized dealers. If you call them, they can tell you who is in your area.

sorry about the typo above, wasnt sure. and actually KB has authorized "INSTALLERS", not dealers. they are not there to sell the equipment, but more simply have it shipped from KB to them to make installation go quicker rather then the customer buy it and bring it to a tune shop and possibly lose stuff along the way.

He's right - you're wrong. KB has authorized dealers and they get to purchase KB products at a discount. The standing rule Jim (Owner of KB) does not bend on is dealers are not allowed to sell s/c unless they specifically perform the install. He has pulled licenses in the past for this and everyone knows he will so nobody violates the rules.

He also requires them to use the SCT for the tuner. ST Motorsports is the ONLY one he has let slide on this rule. Another little fact you should weigh in your decision is KB will void the s/c warranty if you install a custom tune.

Yes, I did, not difficult at all. However, the pic is with the stock muffs with MRT tips. Sorry, but I got the Corsas a couple of weeks after the pic. I'll have to post some new ones soon.

We are an official Kenne Bell Dealer, as stated above the only way we can sell you a Kenne Bell is if we perform the install. No ifs or buts about it, Jim Bell's rule. As far tuning software we can use whatever we want honestly. It helps that we are a Diablo and SCT dealer, but anyways they are top noth products, and would recommend them to anybody.

Why is it such a big deal that "ONLY AUTHORIZED DEALERS" can install this.....All the other Kits out ie:Whipple,Roush,Procharger,Vortech ect dont have that stipulation....That right there guarantees you 100% I will not be buying a KB. It was one of the front runners for me untill I found that little detail out. I would rather take the money you have to pay to have it installed and put into a clutch or towards a forged short block, but that is my opinion[:@]...okay I'm spent...
