Angry DC is leaving the performance world? nooo

I just ordered the DC sportrs exhaust and its gonna take 3 weeks for it to get here cuz some company bought out DC, so they r doing the last minute DC ship outs.

o well, DC looks snazyyyyy.

Also,. when u all say Tune, i'm confused.. i thought i knew what a tune was, but then I hear all these different things said about tunning. What exactley does tune mean. what does it do for your car?

Your computer controls things like amount of fuel injected and spark timing based on input from various sensors. Tuning your car changes the factory parameters usually in order to gain power.

DC Sports was purchased back in November 2007 by a company called "Pilot Automotive" They are relocating the DC Sports facility, and DC Sports will still be around. However, during this SLOW move parts are not being manufactured. Slowly in May parts will start to get back in stock, however most everyone is out of product.

PM us with any questions, as we are one of the few places that work closely with DC Sports/Pilot Automotive.

AEM purchase the company DC Sports about 3-4 years ago. They (AEM) was the owner of DC Sports since then, and up until November 2007. Now AEM sold the DC Sports line off to a new company called "Pilot Automotive"

AEM did this so they could focus better on their fastly growing "electronics" side....
