Trust me, you do NOT want a high-res pic of the collector in this bish. That's like asking for a high res pic of Rumer Willis on a Sunday morning. Buy it because does 95% of what most UELs does at 1/3rd the price. It's not pretty.

I already have the V1 and it's waiting to be installed when the weather gets better. Also I couldn't pass up the deal of the V1 a couple months ago. I'm just curious what they changed because, they said "improved collector" and that was the only gripe I notice this header is that the collector is just a bunch of glob welds.

Wouldn't be surprised if it was still nasty, but if improved, then I wouldn't see a reason to buy any ~$600ish UEL over this one for the street. It fits, it works, and it's cheap.

I'm running the OFT tune for Phantom ESC + e85 (that factors OFH/UEL into the tune.) Since I'm F.I., logging is a given. No issues for quite some time.

Oh I didn't know that, e85 isn't accounted for in the new update, I need someone running 91 or 93 to speak on how it's working with the CNT lol

I've been stupid and haven't been logging but I should probably get on that.

Oh cool so you've tried the new OFH tunes? How do they feel?

It feels good. I never really had experience with the old maps so i cant really compare though.

Well I ordered DEI titanium wrap and I'm having a friend wrap it for me, so lower engine bay temps and longevity of the header should be good, it was about $44 off ebay for 8 Stainless steel zip ties, 2" wide 50 inch long DEI Titanium wrap, much cheaper and better bang for the buck than powder coating....

Hmm that's really interesting. I need to go ahead and get it wrapped/ coated... Would definitely make me feel less paranoid. Let me know how it goes for you.

I wrapped my CNT in DEI Titanium and IIRC needed more than 50 feet of wrap with a 1/2" overlap. You may need another roll as well. Don't know how much more though.

Yea I ended up order 1 2inch 50 ft wrap and another 1 inch 50 ft wrap

Just purchased the V2 cnt header. I have a K&N drop in filter and berk single exit muffler delete for "performance" so far
V2 is in the mail along with grimspeed gaskets and a universal o2 spacer. Oft will be coming in a few months
Im guessing stock muffler will go back on after install. I don't need it sound like a racecar. Just the subie rumble and little gain in performance is what I want.
Ill keep this updates with pics and install shortly. Hoping to have it on next weekend.

Take pics of that V2 for me. Especially the Merge collector. That's supposedly what improved over the V1. Really excited for you man!
