Canadian Source for Mods to 2.4L?

Anyone have any experience with getting engine mods such as a S/C or dual mufflers etc. from a Canadian source ? I am in Southern Ontario and would like to get a DDM Stage II done but it is quite a hike. Just wondering if any canucks on this forum have found a supplier or service locally. Have a 2006 Solstice that is now out of warranty and I am ready to get some add ons.

Solo is a Canadian source and located in Southern Ontario. Westers of Wester's Tunes is a Canadian source.

There are a few but they all sell to the US too.

Don't be afraid to work with DDM in SC for the SC parts. If you need help putting it in - contact SOLO. I think they've done a few.

King,
Solo installed one DDM system, but the mechanic didn't want to do anymore is my understanding.

Hi guys, I posted on the Kappa forum as well and got some great info. Solo won't do DDM anymore , they are about to do my new exhaust though as I have told Jeff to line up a install for a SQR-2 and hi flow cat. Appreciate all the help everyone was trying to understand from scratch what I was looking at to upgrade my Sol.

After the exhaust in May I expect to get down to DDM in the summer with my wife for a mini-vacation and let Dave and gang put the S/C , ST II in.

Did talk to Hahn about a turbo but they wanted my car for 5 days, I am few hours away, that is quite the hassle. DDM seems more willing to work on accomodating my trip etc. down.

Read a lot of posts on driveability etc. Not sure I like the way the turbo acts vs. the s/c , makes me think back to my dirt riding days on my 250 Yamaha 2 stroke, lots of power but all the power in one spot, very peaky. For me the power will be nice but I want a nice rode car that is predictable and has a reasonably smooth power curve, some nice low end torque.
