reflash for stock engine?
Howdy, I have a '03 Touring edition it has no mods other than a
cold air intake and bigger exhaust.Is there any company that offers a reflash that would benefit my car?
THANK YOU!

Sorry to say, with a CAI and bigger exhaust, you're not looking at much a gain. Expect 7-10 HP at best and that's after multiple pulls and a tuner who knows how to use UpRev Osiris. Cost will be over $1K to buy both the software and tunes. Not a very cost effective power adder.
You can get an Uprev reflash for around $500, with dyno tuning $700-800. You won't see massive HP gains (10-15 at the wheels) but it does make a big difference in overall driveability. Much more responsive and peppy afterwards. There is a restriction on the electronic throttle from the factory that the tune removes...

Unfortunately, it's hard to make any predictions on tuning. I've seen tests on CAIs and exhausts that actually LOST HP and TQ from the OEM systems. UpRev is the way to go, but not everybody will get the same gains...

many tuning shops I know of here but NC has a bunch of tuning shops.
Can anyone recommend where to go?
You can tune remotely-- where you get a reflash cable and have a tuner build you a tune and flash it yourself, or go to any Uprev protuner (full list on their site) and get tuned there in person.
