I spoke with my close friends at Gateway Chev. They can get Stage 2 for you guys at the cost of $1075. That does not include installation. I have no idea what others are charging, so if anyone is interested, reply in this thread.

That still seems too high. I'm probably gonna buy my own parts (pulley, injectors) and get it flashed at the dealer, if possible. Personally, I think the kit should be somewhere around $500 mark.

Well, I seen it in front of my own eyes, dealer cost on stage 2 is somewhere around the 820 dollar mark. So if you think you can get Stage 2 from other sources that much cheaper, by all means go for it. However, you may have warranty issues later on.

YAY another stage thread.

Look, you signed it Loser.. how sweet. I did have something productive to say. it was that you guys are paying too much for the stage kits.

Rip off ..and still not confirmed ... there are allready Canadian Stage threads P7X has one started

and that is is not fair that canada has them in the dealer computers already, but i guess that is what we get, since most other stuff is difficult to get in canada

Whats difficult to get in Canada ?

How can you call it a Rip off when List is Over 1200 bucks? I dont know how cheap people are around here. But you gotta pay if you want to play. I think a few hundred bucks off list is not bad. The gas guys will spend going across the border to get it etc... Think about it.

not sure exactly, but people are always complaining that companies don't ship to canada, and the ones that do charge an arm and a leg

takes me 45 mins to get to the border ...gas money isint going to make up for the hundreds of dollars difference ...yes you have to pay to play ..but that dosn't mean you have to pay the most to play ..

Ive only ever had a problem once and it was becasue they charge you Tax sometimes ... which(without starting a big argument) goes towards stuff that is hard to get in the states ...*cough* healthcare*cough*

This thread is for people who want the Stage 2 kit and are willing to pay for it. I don't believe opinions were asked for. If you don't want it, don't post. There is no need to turn this into a Canada vs USA thread. It doesn't matter and it have been argued 300 times already.

This guy is trying to do the best for people and help them save a few bucks. That is what members are supposed to do.

I appreciate the comments and support. If your going to buy it from GM thats about as good a price as your going to get. List is around 1260 bucks canadian. I might even be able to do slightly cheaper then $1075 depending on how many people are interested. Get it installed at GM, all warranty is intact, and you are out of there clean with no problems. Myself, I dont want to drive all over the world to get the parts, drive back home, get them installed or buy a piece here and a piece there etc.. Just get it all done at once.

Jason

hey man(blackss), not to jack this thread, but i want to get up to toranto to pick up a fake id, lol, can you hook me up? And dude, just come to america for the stages...... i think it will be cheaper, even with gas prices......

not sure exactly, but people are always complaining that companies don't ship to canada, and the ones that do charge an arm and a leg

That's your stupid government policy, not ours. Not a Bush supporter are you??

so your post didn't help either.

Apparantly it didn't seens you just posted that.

Anyways, I'm not about to have a pissing match with you. We all know your the king post whore around here so I am not even going to try to get the last word in.

I have been trying to figure that one out as well..

LOL

2 of my friends just got them there for 50 bucks american, they are illegal to sell in the US, so we have to go elsewhere, they got 2 real good ones, with thier own pictures on them and everything, the places i found them on the internet are like 80 bucks, and i dont really trust them..... I just need one well and my girlfriend, so we can go downtown and stuff... I am yet to find someone of age that looks like me, lol, i intend to get up there in the next couple weeks, so we should hang out or something

haha well I dont know of any fake ID shops here ... nor did I know that Canada/T.O had a reputation for that ...though its illegal here too ... but good luck with your search

And have fun drinking when you are here ... :ca:

for sure man lol

you can order it offline for 645 i think or around there US founds... so im not sure what im doing yet offline or buy it with a group buy on the site

I think that if I get the kits.. It's going to be from a GM dealership, rather then just site online or person.. Atleast if you show GM a bill for warrenty work on the parts, they will do whatever warrenty works needs to be done (you don't need to go to the same dealer who sold or installed, warrenty is wordwide. So if your car breaks in the US and its warrenty.. You can go to a US dealer.. sorry for that ramble).. If you buy from someone online without a GM receipt you will probably get hassled and possibly turned down warrenty work..

Just my thought.. I'd rather spend $300 more and have the satifaction that it's fpr sure under warrenty no problems

if you buy it in the US your warrenty either way is covered across all cross North Amercia even with road side assistence your cover anywere in north amercia.

plus its not any site man

http://www.crateenginedepot.com/store/Cobalt-Performance-Parts-C144.aspx

but you right for sure you would have to find out b4 you buy it if your warrenty is covered no matter were you are or if you buy it from CED or at a dealer

"if you buy it in the US your warrenty either way is covered across all cross North Amercia even with road side assistence your cover anywere in north amercia."

Ya I know that. That is what I am pointing out.. If you get it from any GM dealer, your covered anywhere in thw WORLD (not like u would be anywhere else with ur car tho)...

But again, like I said. You would need to check to make sure the warrenty is still good or not. Cause if not then your screwing yourself right...

1075 sounds reasonable. My dealership also quoted me over 1200 plus installation. I'd be up for a kit but not anytime soon...funds are loowww.... Would your friends honour their price say until august or sept?

I take it the $1075 is without installation? If so, do you think you can get us a deal on installation?

P.S. Thanks for letting us know that you can get a deal and are willing to help us out :cssNET:

Look, you signed it Loser.. how sweet. I did have something productive to say. it was that you guys are paying too much for the stage kits.

Ok what do u want us to do? Break in and steal them? That illegal in Canada.

I, for one, am interested since my dealership is charging 1294.

IF you can make room for one more kit and ship to Manitoba that would be great. quoted 1375 here (getting raped)

The dealership in North Vancouver, where I bought my car quoted me yesterday $1,000. for stage 2. I realise that you guys are along ways away but considering your in the centre of the universe ;) you should be able to gets the same price as us lowly western Canadians:)

The best I can do is probably get a cheaper rate on labour. Most dealers across the GTA are charging close to 100 dollars an hour. (I know its ridiculous) but I am hoping for 80 bucks an hour labour. Since none of the dealers have done an installation yet, noone really knows how long its going to take.

And yes, the 1075 is without installation. All this would be done at Gateway Chev in Brampton just up the road from me. I am in constant contact with them about the stage kits. As soon as they can be ordered, I will tell everyone!

Thanks for the PM :twothumbs

I am nowhere near Brampton, so I will bite the bullet on install....but how bad could it be?
Injectors....20mins tops
Pully..........20mins
Bracket......10mins
Reflash.......20 secs :)

Lets say 2 hours to pad the techs paycheck.....you save roughly $200 with this deal. I'd say you're looking at $1400 all in. I think that reasonable.

Jbody Performance is having a sale on them right now for $1025.. I am sure its pre-orders.. If they are pre-orders.. Then I am gonna order mine through them so I can reserve one for when they come..

The only problem I have is.. My dealership in Whitby (Nurse) says that the kit isn't under warrenty.. But then again this is coming from a parts guy they probably doesn't no much more then we do.. But still, if this kit isn't under warrenty with GM if something happens to the motor.. I am out.. Cause I am not going to risk loosing my engine warrenty cause of 36hp upgrade.. I will just wait til my warrenty runs out in 4 yrs..

The guy doesn't know what he's talking about. The part that is the main concern is the reflash, no the hardware. GM is using a 3" pulley so that the boost level remains within their 17% alotted increase before engine damage occurs. The injectors are made my Delco and the pulley is a press on. Anyone with smaller than a 3" pulley without tuning is risking serious damage to their engine by running too lean. The Performance Upgrade by GM will not void your warranty if installed correctly - trust me.

I spoke to my dealership parts dept. and they said the kit would not void the warranty as long as it is purchased from gm and installed by them

OK so lets get some people together and get a group buy going. WE NEED STAGE 2!
:guns:

ya right, gateway chev is where i bought my car ( 06 SS S/C) just two months ago, and did my first oil change.:twothumbs

Any news?.....

They are available to be ordered now. Just found out yesterday. 7 to 10 days for delivery once purchased. Just PM me and I will hook anyone up that is interested!
