They posted claims of approx. 30 H.P. for around $567,000 Yen...
Which is a whole lot closer to approx. $7,000
I guess if you are RHD and have NO other options, this is a good deal..
On another note they seem to be equal length headers and constructed very nicely for a JDM piece...
(visiual opinion)
Looks like the LHD - ISF's are getting great deals from the header companies already out there..

Actually the RHD vehicle do have another option for headers - PPE is going to be making them. And those will get you more than 30HP and cost way less, although I'm sure it'll be a bit higher than U.S. pricing once you factor in shipping and import duties.

Those do look super cool but we are getting a steal! Thank you USA!
Drive a modded Z06 if you wanna feel on the edge of your life... Drive a modded GTR if you wanna lap fast no matter your skills haha. Both are wicked rides... If your going to mod a z06 just buy a zr1 and be done! keep the value in your car.

Paul from PPE was actually in Australia the end of last year. He took measurements and built a prototype at his factory. He used my LHD drive F as a mule. The RHD prototype set is now in Australia and they found a minor rubbing issue. A new set is now being made and should be in over there in a week or so. If all goes well, construction will commence and product should be in Australia by the middle to the end of April. BTW, Lexus of Chatswood will be the PPE distributer and AFAIK the only source for the new header in Australia. And, another BTW, PPE is also making RHD headers for the IS350.

Yeah i heard the Aussie set did have rubbing issues on the steering shaft , and something bout the dipstick?
Apprently they made the test car haul ****.! was like a different car to drive..
Sad thing bout them NOVEL headers, is they are very pricey , and it would be a crime to keep something as gorgeous as these hidden under a bonnet..
So the aussie ones should be here in a week you say ..? Interesting...!!

The more I read about the RHD headers the more my interest grows, I didn't think they would interest me but maybe the HP bug will win out in the end.
Something that I still don't see a lot of is people running the headers with CAT's and how the gains are. I am not sure if I want to run the path of not running CAT's and get in the deep SH&T with a fine.
Anyhow, interest to hear results down under.
