Being that you have the QES exhaust and PPE headers, do you notice the same amount of power? Or more? I think you mentioned you raced a few M3's, was the results the same? How about against a 2015 m3 or m4? I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on your setup. I was neck and neck with an M4 almost a month ago. He had a slighter edge but I held right next to him. I'm still stock and was impressed that I was able to keep up. The driver actually gave me thumbs up! We were well over triple digits.
The only E92 M3 I've raced has been my friend's car, I haven't realy had any good races with another M3 to be honest.
I've raced an ISF while I only had headers and he had headers and exhaust and he would pull on me from 1st - 3rd.
As for going against the M4 I haven't had the pleasure yet, but I'm shocked that you managed to keep up with an M4 while being stock, as that car is much faster than the ISF especially when being stock.
and is the QES Exhaust another name for the PTS True Dual ISF Exhaust?

I first installed my headers and it felt like I gained power higher up the range, with the exhaust it feels now to give me better low end acceleration and with the headers it just keeps going.

I recently was a victim to my buddies 2015 M3... I posted the video in the drag thread he ran an 11.2 at 126... I had a good run at 12.4 at 115 and he ran away from me it was quite disheartening lol.

^^^Damn I didn't know those new M3's run low 11's at mid 120's!! That's stock GTR territory or even faster for the trap speed, is his modified??
Edit.... Never mind saw the video in the drag thread, he's running a JB4 tune on race gas. Now those numbers make sense, can't beat turbos with added boost and a tune for instant HP/TQ
Shoot running a 12.4 @ 115 is pretty good. You stock or have headers/exhaust?

At least they don't have the gentleman agreement like they had back in the day 280 bhp.
Remember when I first got my Supra de-restricted the factory set-up with BPU mods and pretty much raised the HP by about 140 odd.Performance was night and day.I suspect it's much the same for these IS-F's.

The answer to your first question is NO, due to the fact there's without a doubt better options. Power wise with aftermarket headers catless provides the most power! If you decide to get the hi flow cats you're going to slightly sacrifice performance but not sound. Rafi mentioned an option with a manufacturer by the name of Gessi (forgive me if I spelled) they design hi flow cats that give you full benefits of having the catless power numbers and being eco friendly! I want to say only 1 of our members have gone that route with aftermarket headers. Only 1 member because these cats alone are 1k or more a piece.
