Default PPE Headers installed!

A huge thanks to Paul at PPE headers for taking great care of my car. I sent it to them through an auto carrier from Vegas to pheonix, the install and alignment were done in two days and I had my car back the same week!
Customer service, reliability, and fantastic products is all I have to say about Paul and his crew.

I went down to Lexus of Henderson and the General Manager of the store came down and asked to test drive my F. Here's a quick/crappy video!

^^^Thank you! And no they do not. They use an installer that comes to their shop I believe. But with the lack of reliable mechanics in Vegas, I felt that sending it to PPE would ensure nothing would go wrong. They received the car Monday afternoon, did the install on Tuesday, Alignment on Wednesday, and the car shipped back out to me on Thursday!*
I wish I could've drove it down there, but it's tough for me to get away from work.

You're not the first person to ask! The invoice is on my desk at work, I'll post it up here on Monday. They also installed their hi flow cats as well!

Interesting,...i'm wondering if they would do an exhaust and heades all in one shot with their installer? And would you need PPE cats if you went with say an ISS exhaust?

You don't "NEED" cats for any header/exhaust install... You just can get them if you:
1.) Want to avoid the "gas smell" in your exhaust.
2.) Want to pass emissions testing (though could still fail visual inspection)
3.) Want to take a little rasp/few decibels off the top of the exhaust tone/loudness.

The Headers that are optional with the PPE headers are Magnaflow high flow cats...
