Thanks for the compliments guys... I hope this video finally helps everyone when deciding on an exhaust/header setup. If I ever get tired of my 2nd cat delete/straight pipe setup, I'll look at my own video to decide what I want next! It would be great to run one of you with full bolt ons to see how we fare, on the track.
Just to share my knowledge regarding the Sikky/PPE debate, AFAIK Sikky requires dipstick modification, and especially since JE has already done many ISF's, they have the procedure down pat. Many owners have no fitment or o2 sensor issues because JE knows what they are doing. On the other hand PPE's new header design doesn't require the dipstick to be modified, which makes installation easier. Not sure if JE will put PPE's in. Pros and Cons for both I guess.
I guess at next year's meet I will see if I can get in-car video of cruising, WOT, and downshifts on all of the exhaust/header setups.

haha great video and best composition of different exhaust sets up out there. Headers/ISS sound the best. Its interesting how much Joe Z and Borla sound alike and the Borla is definitely a little quieter than Joe z driving around with headers, Caymandive brought me for a ride in his car with SIKKY/Borla and i was surprised. The track set up on JDMv8's car is nuts in person, props but i couldn't daily it. Over all, all the cars sounded great but the custom ones i've heard and muffler deletes just don't suit me compared to the mass produced exhausts. Just seems to be more thought going into which mufflers are being used to achieve better sound IMO.
The reason your seeing so many cars with Sikky header is because Sikky and JE Import performance are a few hours from where the meet was, they had a rep at the meet. Sikky headers are popular on the east cost as im sure you would find more isf's with PPE on the west coast.

..then again, I dd an 07 si on weekdays..lol.and to reiterate, people should not worry about sikky headers if they are installed by JE. JE has went through much R&D with the sikky headers and has gotten the install process down.
like Ryan (darbs) says, JE is proximal to ISF members of the eastcoast, so naturally, most owners at the mega meet had sikky headers, as opposed to PPE.
