A Valero in Las Cruces. Broke my heart to pay $40 to fill the tank when my E47 blend never cost more than $25. But I'm going to Abilene, TX this weekend and there are no ethanol stations on the way or in the town itself.

Going to pickup a header/DP combo this weekend.

Its a catted setup with an AEM wideband and dual pod a-pillar for 300$, which is a great deal.

Just wondering if any of you have any experience with this setup.

Its a "Custom Tube Inc." header/DP.

Haven't seen a header with the flexpipe on it, usually its on the DP no?

Any info would be appreciated!

Its everything in the pic except the intake tube.

Ya thats what I was told.

The site isnt around anymore, and I couldnt find a whole lot of up to date info on them.

Just want to make sure im not buying something thats riddled with issues.

Everything I was able to find tells me its a good setup, but I was hoping an encyclopedia of car knowledge like yourself might be able to give me some more insight :

My combined mpg went from 28.5 to about 25mpg so I still save money on E. I just like the extra oomph to be honest. The money saving is just a convenient plus.

CTI was an ok company back in the day. Lots of people ran that header. Not the neatest of welds or work on the header, but it should work fine. Make sure the flex coupler is in good shape before you buy it.

Perfect!!

This is exactly what I wanted to know. I figured the flexpipe was an area of concern.

It only has about 15k miles on it according to the seller, so im thinking it should be ok.

Appreciate the feedback.

I need to check my car. My steering seems to be kinda loose was driving straight today (after going thru a bad part of the freeway) and my steering wheel was kinda crooked to the passenger side then it went back to its original position. Then it felt really loose after that. i wonder what it could be, i did replace my tie rods and endlinks like 4 months ago but only had been used for like one month
