Hmmm, I've been thinking about headers next Spring and I too have deleted cats and mufflers. Wondering what the gains will be AND how much louder it will get. I don't want any louder and sometimes I wish I had cut outs. It can get a bit annoying when you just want some peace and quiet, but that's only about 10% of the time.

^ thanks for the link lowrider
so basically, im going to leave the post cats in there.
do i still need this "o2 conditioner or simulator"
also, where is the cheapest price to get o2 sensors? i should just go ahead and buy them just incase they do strip out correct? last thing i want is the F stuck at the shop.

^ I'll be on the same boat as you guys but with PPE headers and stock exhaust. Just waiting for a word back from one of the Lexus Techs if they can get the job done or not...

ISFPOWER where are you planning on getting your headers installed? I have thought about taking a couple of days off and going to Baltimore to get them installed and dyno'd by another member on here (cant remember their name). I mentioned to my local Lexus dealer that I would be doing this and they started talking about dropping the engine out for the install, which I know you dont have to do, so I will atleast let him quote it for me, but I dont know any other local reputable shops in CLT.

theyve done like 45 ISF with these headers which is why i want to go with them. im not the first person to go out of state for the headers install. they already know what they are doing and i can drive home with no troubles or CEL lights.
i think im going to purchase the SIkky rear sway bar while im up there as well. hopefully drive home a completely different beast

2100 installed for headers excluding new a/f sensors. add another 320 for sensors which is a safe bet because even if you are one of the lucky ones that can have it taken off, they often fail after install. so about 2420 installed for everything.
