I want to get headers and exhaust for weight saving puposes, but I don't want to do that without a tune. And if I'm going to buy a tune and if E85 is actually available now, which it seems like it is, I feel like I might as well go with that.
It's always a vicious chain reaction with me. Want to save weight, so need E85.

There was only one car that had problems while running E85 BUT it was never determined of it was due to E85 or something else.
There are tons of STI/WRX running E85 only for years, no issues. Our fuel system uses same components as those cars.
Its good practice not to let a tank of E85 sit for a month but then again I have a friend with an STI who let the tank sit for 1+ years and his car started on first crank, zero issues.
To run E85 on an NA car you dont need anything else, just a tune. Injectors and/or FP are a must only for Force Induced cars and probably down the road when people build crazy NA setups.
I dont want to sound like the biggest fan or defender of E85 but IMHO if run properly, you wont have much issues if any.
