Default JDM custom made down pipes

After a few weeks of sacrificing late night sleeping hours and talking to my friends in Japan, I finally got this set of head pipes and mid sections for my car. The freight was scary and luckily there wasn’t any import duty because I put it as business sample. It is... 100% custom made... one of a kind in the world.
The design is to improve and correct some of the design flaws in existing models (I will not mention manufacturer names), and allow adaptation of aftermarket (or oem) cat-back exhaust system.
Two sets were made actually; of course my friend in Jap kept one set, and he got a test result of increasing 8% rwhp on his 06’ is250 (pretty well modified). Now I need to find a good weekend to install this in and see how it will aid to the power output.

LOL, and some say it is dumb to buy the end of the model year. I disagree, at the end of the model year all the bugs are normally worked out and a lot of aftermarket choices are out there for better pricing because to begin with they are always more expensive.

That is a bad *** looking system. The only thing I am concerned with is if they are exactly port matched to the diameter of the heads. This can cause turbulence if it isn't and be counter productive.

Hahaha.. Thanks guys.
I am not to smart when coming to car mods, so I follow the rule of thumb that I believe JDM is always better.

And "again", just like I told my wife... 'Honey, I promise this will be my last mod' .
