Hey guys, will I have anything else to worry about with E85? More frequent oil changes, plugs, and are the cats safe? I have the Borla X-pipe but I still have the front cats.

Been running mine for over a year and no issues at all. The only thing noticed is that my exhaust pipes are cleaner, not sure if that is a better quality fuel I am using or the fact that E goes in every tank. I look at is a win/win.

The inside of your engine will be cleaner too. Plugs, pistons, etc. don't have nearly as much carbon build-up with E85. Too bad the direct injection doesn't allow the valves to receive the same benefit.

Thanks. Anyone running the stock front cats? Do I even need to worry about this? I know all of the benefits of ethanol, but I'm trying to educate myself on the downsides as well. My car is running so strong right now, I'm a little nervous to mess with a good thing.
