I think everyone that has purchased a part from CIA should take the time and say a few words of appreciation. Dan Does not have time to go through every thread and see things. So this thread is a must. If you have ever said anything on the forums I will try to post it.
I would like to start it off by saying Dan has done something extremely extraordinary. Most people don’t realize this but 2 people make each part that is made out of their shop! Yes 2 people, to insure that your product is the BEST. Unlike others that may have different people working on parts each day of the week.
Each and every person on here receives a part that is specifically for him or her. How many people can say that they don’t have a massed produced product?
CIA tests their products to insure that each and every person that receives them is very happy and is perfect!
Thank you

hey i just wanted to say that this dp is beautiful, can't wait to put it on my car (btw if you can't tell by where i posted i am talking about clear image automotive's dp)
Just got all my parts from Dan as well. SS header, D/P, catback. Very good quality. Have yet to install it, so I hope to get some sound clips. We had some issues, but Dan was kind enough to work through them with me. Can't wait to hear this new exhaust system!
So I ordered the Trifecta Tune recently from CIA and Beth got back to me right away. She had the answers to my questions and was amazing to work with, passing all of my info along to Vince to get my setup going. As for the tune, Vince does amazing work. I had a lean code that was tuned out so that I could get through emissions and in the past two weeks since the final tune was completed I have gone up almost 5 mpgs. Plus you can feel the difference big time. It is a great bang for the buck and Vince will look out for you until you get what you are looking for. :twothumbs for Beth, CIA, and Vince from Trifecta:cssNET:
Dan you are the man sir!!!
I just had to cancel my 3 in DP with cut out and Highflow cat.
I switched to a Catless DP with no cutout
He switched it on spot.
With a return only taking a couple percent for the products he already bought. This was going to ship like today or tomorrow.
and he fixed this for me
You guys are awesome!!!!!!!!
Thanks SOOOOOO much Dan and Beth!!!
Just visited the website and I must say they have a very detailed history in the business and the best part is......they support the troops. You have me sold wth that. Let me know.
Yeah that is an amazing price for what you are getting it is very well worth the money here!!! These guys do an amazing job:guns:
HEy guys,
Ok so the boost piping was not the easiest part to install. Dan had called me up the day he sent it out to give some tips on installing. The piping crossing the engine on top(powdercoated) when connecting to the turbo, place the silicon on the turbo first, then loop your High Pressure Clamps on your pipe(careful not to scratch, I did) slide your pipe into the silicon and then slide your High Pressure clamp over your silicon. It is a really tight fit so you might have to push the high pressure clamp in good. The other tricky part is the piping going from the intercoller to the Throttle body. For this it make life easier if you just take your bumper off. The trottle body is another tight fit, so follow the steps you did ofr the Top Powdercoated pipe. The only difference is that your going to tighten a little the throttle body before even connecting it to the intercooler.This will give you some leeway to move around and adjust. The pipe connect the Top to the intercooler "IN" went in without a hitch. It took us about a good 3 hours from start to finish. Man, I love turning the car on and just hearing the air circulating throughout the pipes. I will dyno Tomorrow or Sat. I'll let you guys know. I love the setup!!!!! Special thanks to Dan and the team for their efforts!!!
Some of the things i have found
Few more!hey dan,
you are doing an awesome job bro, i know beth was the best but we (the CSS community) have faith in Nicole and we know she will do well, keep up ur great work and dont kill yourself doing it, i know a lot of your customers (including me) are very exited to get the products that we buy, but i guarantee that 99% of us understand all the work that ur putting on this is not easy and we are very greatful to have such a nice customer service and an EXCELLENT quality on the products.
like i said before, you are doing an excellent work BUT dont kill yourself doing it.
I personally would like to say: THANK YOU and keep it up!

Dan,
You really make a mean downpipe! :) Thank you so much for getting us this deal. I just got mine put on today and all I gotta say is CIA is Dah WinnAR!
The exhaust still sounds stock with the catted dp. It has a slightly more deep exhaust tone at idle, but not loud. At open throttle, it gives your car the sound it should have had when you drove it off the lot, lol. The backfires are awesome!
Benefits to this downpipe:
- no CEL's :)
- slightly higher boost (went from 14.6 to 15.2psi lol)
- because back pressure is incredibly reduced, boost builds easier and quicker.
-that results in better gas mileage as well!!!
-acceleration is quicker, dunno if there was a power gain but it sure felt like it! the car hadnt learned down the dp yet.
2nd best buy for your dollar! next to a tune :D
You guys that purchased from CIA and havent recieved your products yet, wait for them....it's absolutely worth it.
Learn down is a mother!
I got my DP last night...gonna try to install it tonight if it's not raining like it's been the past fews days.
P.S.- The quality on the DP is by far the best that I've seen of any parts that I've ordered over the years.
Great job Dan! Keep up the good work and the orders will continue to pour in!
