I've had mine installed (2012 IS-F) a little over a month ago and I have ZERO complaints. SIKKY installed them at their shop so they dynoed before and after on the same machine. I gained 51 hp and 26 lbs of torque; at least 405 to the ground. I already had the JoeZ exhaust so I'm sure that helped with the gains. I also have the Penskes and FIGS bushing to help play with all this power. I'm scheduled to get the tuned intake system from RR Racing later this month and I’ll get it dynoed again when the weather warms up.
I drive this car every day to work through crappy VA/DC traffic and I have no issues (other than the rear tires losing traction), I also went to the track once. The track wasn't in good shape so I couldn't push it to the the limit, but it's quickness and power is undeniable. I'm still smiling, but I’m also a bit sad because I won't be going to the track until next April. My buddy Mikesoft posted his track day video and included a clip of my car in the straightaway for those that want to hear it. The guys at SIKKY did a fantastic job and they did it right the first time. It's like a new car to me and the deep throated sound of the engine is absolutely beautiful.
and the 6:05 mark.

I really wish I could hop in on this deal. Unfortunately, the only way I'd be able to get my car up to Maryland is if I trailer it up to Sikky. I've opted in for the rental because of the Takata airbag recall, and won't be able to rack up 2k+ miles for round trip from FL.
Hopefully there will be some incentives in the future!

Great to hear! I'm really glad I have the GESI cats. It was such a pain swapping exhaust each year to pass state inspection and emissions. This year I drove into the inspection facility and drove out without a problem and it was great!

They were easy to install (after Mikersoft showed me how on his IS-F) and I noticed a big difference. My tire wear has been excellent considering how many miles I drive plus I've been to the track numerous times on them.

I bought these last year in June, http://www.shopfigs.com/v3/index.php...product_id=235
They were easy to install (after Mikersoft showed me how on his IS-F) and I noticed a big difference. My tire wear has been excellent considering how many miles I drive plus I've been to the track numerous times on them.

Yes, I've seen his review. Definitely was negative as far as installation and customer service goes. Seemed as if he's satisfied with the performance and sound of the headers themselves though.
But his installation was slightly different though (not to make any excuses for Sikky or anything though). His car was a test mule for fitment, ect etc and stayed with Sikky for months and months for R&D, etc.
Mainly looking for more reviews from people who have gotten the production v2 header and installation. I want to hop on this but def want to feel comfortable about my car being in their hands for a few days and comfortable about spending a few grand on this mod.
I know plenty of people have been to MD and have gotten the new headers and install, just wondering we only have a few reviews....
