passing va emissions with eurcharged v5 tune and agency power headers
i am in the process of waiting for my 09 c63 to arrive, i had a couple questions concerning the eurocharged v5 tune & agency power headers before i purchase it
1. will i be able to pass emissions
2. has the rev limit been modified with the tune
3. has the speed limiter been raised as well?
4. Is it easy to installing the ECU flash by myself using the myGenius handheld without bringing it to an authorized shop?

1. I live in northern va (ashburn) in order for me to register my car every year we are required to take an emissions test yearly or every two years
2. just went to there website it says it does not change the rev limiter
3. they removed the speed limiter
4. Have you done it before? ive looked over the instructions and it looks straight forward just worried if something goes wrong will i be able to revert it back to factory settings

"Features include 3/8” thick flanges with tig welded and hand ported inlets, 1-7/8” long tube primaries, leak free merge collectors with scavenger spikes, 200 cell metallic substrate cats (or cat delete) and a direct fit 3” X-pipe that provides excellent ground clearance and great fit."
You'll specify catted or decatted when you're ordering.
Better yet, get your car first. It's easy to get that shopping list going before you even take delivery, I know, I get it, and I have been that guy many a time. However, judging by the sound of it, you're not going to install the headers yourself. Shops are going to charge you 8-12 hours on headers. Labor alone is $1000-$1500 + $3500 for parts and you're looking at $5k right out of the gate.
If I were you, I would start with a tune. Then, from there, if you want more sound out of the car move onto an x-pipe / resonator delete. Then, if you still want more power, readdress headers.
Again though, call EC.
As for passing emissions, I'm in NY where we have annual obdII scans, no sniffer. I know people are passing up here with catless headers on tunes. Honestly though, it's really a coin flip to how your car takes everything. These cars can be pretty sensitive. Another reason I'd hold off on the headers if I were you because what if you install at $1500 just to have to take them off again at $1500 for an inspection just to put them back on for $1500... $3k/yr to pass inspections.
See what I mean?

They shut that place down a long time ago. Now the closest EC dealer is in MD called ISP racing.
OP -- Call EC.

If you haven't already purchased headers, I'm working on installing what on paper is an emissions legal, high flow exhaust system. It includes DynoComp long tube headers, 3" 300 cell high flow cats, x-pipe, and a Remus resonator/muffler cat-back system. I'm re-installing all 4 O2 sensors in this setup. With the EuroCharged Stage V tune, the rear 02 sensors are turned off and that will flag the OBDII portion of the emissions test here in Colorado. However, reflashing the ECU with the stock map and running the 300 cell cats 'should' pass both the OBDII and sniff portions of the emissions testing.
I'll share more info once I get it installed this week and get it to an emissions center. After that, I'll get it on a dyno so we can see the rwhp gains, which should be in the +70-90 rwhp range.

not to say you'll get bored of the car, but it keeps it interesting doing mods in stages!
