CTI Sky RL Stainless Steel hard Pipes

I just had my IC pipes made at www.customtubesinc.com
The differences' with mine and those are:
-Stainless Steel (not aluminum; so they wont crush)
-Uses stock brackets (unlike other aftermarket pipes with no brackets on them)
-Adds a lip on the ends of all the pipes so couplers won't pop off
-Full MANDREL Bent as well
-NO BOV Flange

Let me know if people are interested I can post pics, get prices & CTI will also be making a jig to manufacture these & offer them in polished!

Remember, these are RAW stainless steel right now. Can be powder-coated, or polished. Also, can be made in ALUMINUM.

Actually, I opted to not have one.
there are pipes out there that have the flange & the Sky RL's do not run right with them, so Id rather not!

btw, CTI can fab-up ANYTHING!

Actually yah! Better throttle response, seems to spool little faster too!
I will be doing a 3" air intake, & 3" turbo back exhaust too, that should make a nice difference!

The sky's have a little surge-type valve stock, sounds cute!
And I was informed that with a 3" intake, you can hear it even more! haha

They do have a nice little "woosh" when you shift them. I don't think this is the car for a blowoff valve, they're more classy than that, IMHO.

The Sky Redline I drove had a semi-obnoxious ticking (it was a pre-production prototype model, so it certainly wasn't polished for production), and I was told it was due to the direct injection. Is that still apparent in the production models?

The tubes look nice by the way, that intake & exhaust treatment should kick some ass.
