About K&N cai, I think it causes a CEL because the oil gets on the MAF sensor. Tell Adam to check the MAF and clean it off if need be.

It's the Roto-fab that magically transforms the engine bay...

Depends on what grit sandpaper you use...and what you work your way back up to remove those scratches...

The plenum is more "delicate" to sandpaper so be more careful for which you chose how gritty you get with the plenum

As for the runners on the intake manifold those are PITA's so I started out with 80 grit and worked my way up...

Just a quick question, does anyone know where to get the best price for some universal high flow cats in 3" size? I think I'm going to be going with high flows on my pacesetter headers but don't want to spend the 350 for the pacesetter ones. I know I can get some magnaflow ones for a lot less and just get them welded in.

Not one CEL since (well, except for the headers ).

Also....congrats on the new car! Love the wheels
