Cool vid! Nice line up of rides. I always wanted an s2k, but being 6'5 it's a tuff squeeze . Looking forward to some vids of your F with the new installs, maybe some inside and out while cruising.

Hey guys I finished up installing the ppe headers and joe-z exhaust tonight heres the vid. The steam is because it was 28 degrees out and the smoke is from the coated header and new piping. Tired so I'm off to sleep, but hey the ending is funny! (recorded with iphone )

How much louder did the headers make it?

StrykarISF

It's insane, in a good way. I pretty much was speechless when I first hit the start button on a cold startup

Did you already buy yours?

Did you go without cats

I was thinking you had the JOE Z exhaust already installed and was just now putting on the headers, curious to how much louder it is with the headers plus exhaust.

I've got the Joe Z setup installed, does sound great. I haven't purchased the headers yet, think I will go with the Sikky headers though when I do!!

There must be 4 or 5 ISF's rolling around western washington with I/H/E setups!

StrykarISF

Yeah no cats, anyone have any trouble going catless? When I first started it up; no check engine lights, then when I pulled it out of the garage I had 6 codes, 4 o2 sensor codes and 2 control module poor performance codes. It may have been freaking out with the new setup and adjusting a learning curve. Or all the new smoke coming off the pipes, there may have been some inside the pipes too that tripped an o2 sensor. Not really sure, but I cleared the codes and they have yet to come back.

StrykarISF

I can only judge it from when my car was bone stock, since the header and joe-z exhaust were put on at the same time, it would have been fun to try the header on stock exhaust first to judge the rumble but I just wanted to do everything at once while I had it on jack stands. Its a bit louder than stock for sure with the current setup and it scared my "Mopar" dad when I rev'd it to the moon! Glad he approves haha.

Did u use the o2 conditioner that came with the headers

StrykarISF

Yeah, there was enough room to tuck the black conditioner box inside of the ecu storage box once all 6 wires were connected. I think my problem is the black ground wire on the conditioner side which connects to the ISF's brown connector E3 PIN28 may not be fully engaged causing the high voltage code, resulting in the other poor performance control module codes etc. I am putting that off until next weekend when I have more time. But I am liking the sound at idle!

lukeisf

I have 0 codes using the o2 conditioner and I welded hi flow cats onto the Joe z exhaust. Did you change the o2 sensors. I had to becuase they stripped

StrykarISF

Did not have to replace any o2 sensors no...applied rost off to threads before removal and onto the joe-z and header bungs. My codes should disapear once I fix the black ground wire, its kind of a hokey connector they send you, its the blue crimp one. After looking at the EWD's it makes sense that the ground wire black on conditioner side brown on sensor side inside ecu case would cause the high voltage on that sensor tripping the control module dtc's as well. (assuming that the hokey blue tap crimp isn't making good contact) I should know by this weekend. This snow has me wanting to stay in Luke have you hit a dyno yet? Any numbers? I'm planning on doing mine once the ecu and conditioner finally fall in love.

lukeisf

No I never had a chance been meaning to. The sound of the headers and exhaust is crazy on cold starts. Have you had a chance to get an intake

StrykarISF

Haha actually I gave up on deciding on an intake and just ordered the black Takeda to keep the secondary air flap. Should be here within the week. Hopefully I love it and with the supporting mods maybe the HP gains on the intake will stick around now that the engine can flow.
