Just a looser. Lol. No, seriously had my SC400 for 12 years but did not have the time to do much to it (got married moved 3 times and started a family) and not to mention did not have a whole lot to add to the group.
Then I got the F and well I am hooked. It is time to play with the big boys. I love my F and can't wait to be part of the I/H/E club. Just got to take a family trip up to Phoenix, drop the girl off at PPE and go play at a resort while they add on 30 or so ponies.
Oh, also having a Smart Phone was a game changer.
It is such a great message board, bringing Lexus enthusiasts together, we are getting a nice little chapter going here in Tucson.

I also have the Borla cat back and an aftermarket intake (Takeda), and I had PPE install my headers about a year ago and it was the best mod I've done to date! The car sounds absolutely incredible with this setup and I'm sure yours will sound the same, even though you have a slightly different intake. Some people on here have complained that it's too loud but I love it and actually wish it were just a touch louder. I've been toying with the idea of removing the Borla resonators but haven't pulled the trigger on it yet. By the way I went with no cats and have no regrets, couldn't imagine it any other way. Already passed my last inspection/emissions test with flying colors. 
And if you're planning to come to PHX for a few days to have the install done, try to plan it for the first weekend of the month and on Saturday morning check out the Cars & Coffee up at the Shops at Gainey Ranch. In the summer it usually runs from sunrise until about 10am. You'll see some of the most incredible cars of your life. There's typically a Bugatti that shows up, a couple of Ferrari Enzos, Lambos, and hundreds of other exotic, vintage, and modded cars.

I just bought my F two weeks ago. I am in Gilbert.
Paul do you think you could post it? I think this kind of info is useful. I will be installing your headers soon, and any potential troubleshooting info is good to know going in.
Thanks
I believe I responded to an email about this earlier this week. The P1170 code is for a short in the port fuel injector harness. This is more than likely the cause of the rich conditions you are seeing. I will resend the email it has more detail on what to check. If you want to PM me a phone number, I can call tomorrow. I am out of the office today.
Best Regards,
Paul

Paul, June 16th can't come soon enough!! I have a appointment that day to have PPE install my headers. I came up with a solution for my cats/catless dilemma. PPE is going to install V band flanges (Paul suggested using V bands which is a GREAT idea) on his high flow cats and will also fab a set of test pipes with the same flanges so I can easily run either configuration. I will post photos of the set-up when I get it installed.

Just installed mine, my mechanic saved 1 sensor and couldnt on the other one. I bought one locally (luckily theres a shop that sells it super cheap down the street for me, ~$108 each). Also, their extension wire melted next to my header so we took one off and thermal taped it so it should be okay.. will install it later and hopefully the car will drive fine.
