that thing makes ALOT of smoke. i hope it sticks out enough to not make your car all nasty.

 

ya like I said the pcm was still making changes to the system learning but 2 runs wasnt enought to do it
If I drove it a bit before I'm sure it woulve done much better, and problem with the o2 was the redlines have a longer cable, future CSS header/downpipes will have the fixes learned from mine
Definitely much better after driving it home and much better sound

 

sorry but I am not familiar with CTI. Is that short for something cause I cant find it.

 

Custom Tubes Inc. To the original poster: nice setup!! I'm looking for a long-tube header, 3" full exhaust system. I wanted to wait and see what people thought about this system.

Was it a easy set up. Did it come with everything it needed to be installed.

 

yes and yes!

 

SS_SC_Cobalt............Do you know what the "I-piping" looks like in order to remove and reinstall the cat?? If you look at the header on the website, it goes into detail of what I'm talking about. Just wondering if you have any pics of this piping or if you know how this works.

 

there are 2 flanges a 3 bolt and a 2 bolt 5 bolts and you take the cat pipe out and put in a straight pipe

 

any sound clips??

 

look at the first post, vid with sound clip.

 

Nice setup....I've tried getting the word out about this company in other threads on the site. ***** is the man! He makes alot nice stuff. My friend has one on his srt4...sounds nice. When I'm ready...I'm gonna have ***** make one for my 2.2, minus the header.....I wanna get a turbo........

 

sorry should have been more specific, lol was hoping for like a drive by or something not just revs in the garage sorry.

 

will try to get one in the next few days...

 

Soo, will this header/downpipe bolt on or can be modified to fit the corsa touring system?

 

he makes a version that will neck down to the 2.5" size of the corsa

 

what about to a borla

 

I think this just pushed me to buy this setup. Looks great!

 

it will fit any 2.5" size u want or stock for that matter

 

Woot, yup mine mates up to my stock setup. I dynoed 236 with just the cti header and downpipe.

 

When I had my AAM 3" catback, even that flange bolted to the stock downpipe.

So shouldn't the CTI header/downpipe, bolt right up to my 2.5" catback? Not the best for flow, but they should bolt together.

I'd rather get it without the 2.5" taper at the end, in case I go with a 3" catback.

 

if you look at it the 3" doesnt mate to the 2.5 properly, witht he AAM you have to use multiple gaskets not to get a leak, basically it is better to get a 3-2.5 if you have that exhaust....

 

Wow, sounds/looks great! Definatly going to look into this

Thanks for sharing!

 

Well I really don't want to get rid of my 2.5" Thermal R&D, but don't you think I should be going 3"? I'll be running 2.5" pulley, 60#ers, I/H/E, steigmier ported blower.

I know the 2.5" vs. 3" is debatable, what do you guys think? I just hate to go 3" collector and downpipe, then bottleneck it to 2.5" at the catback. Seems like it'd be better to keep it a full 3" thru.
