Sounds reasonable. Used? What's a scanmaster?

Aren't the Pacesetters the ones they have problems with leaking at the heads?
What's a Scanmaster?

I'd like to see the CAI.
I think it's overpriced.

actually the headers are brand new, they are still in the box... and the cai is homemade and the scanmaster is used yes. the headers are the zzp modified ones that have a ceramic covering that can withstand heat up to 2000*. they are prone to leaking without that covering, but zzp stands behind them and they are reputable so...

that's a good deal.
here's what is bad about pacesetter:
if you plan to install transmission guage you going to have hard time getting to the sender cause the cross pipe is on top of it, going to have to get the metal gasket for the dp cause the kit doesn't come with, longer bolts from the cross over pipe to front header, even tho they said it won't leak i would still weld around where the Y pipe connect to the cross over piece cause that's where the leak was. i'm still running the first pacesetter that came out for our cars. no leaks or issues as of yet.

Looks like garbage to me, its definitely not a CAI- the filter is still exposed to the engine bay air. In order to be a real CAI, it needs to be completely isolated from the engine bay (like the stock air box, or the wiz air box). In order to be a real FWI, the filter needs to be sealed off in the fender well.
