Default Hot Blue IS300

Hey guys... I just want to know a little more about cams and headers for the IS300. Just today I was on the Garden State Parkway when I saw a blue is300. We started messin around in traffic but I was in my X5 4.4 which is a pretty fast SUV. The IS300 was surprisingly quick. I own a graphite grey 02 IS300 5spd with the srt intake. My car isnt slow but I didnt think it was that fast. The blue is300 smoked me the whole climb up to 140 mph... When we slowed down i asked him what kind of work he had done... He just said he had a couple tanabe upgrades, cams, headers, exhaust and RMM intake... I guess the gist of my whole story is whether cams and headers are really worth voiding a 2002 vehicle warranty?

i dont know about where you are from but i think an srt intake
would void my warrenty not headers

any thing with are flow like intake, headers, exaust wont void any thing but ecu changes will
i dont know if that helps but
header and exaust will give you the little kick you want

Well there is a reason you have not heard anything about cams... that is cause they DONT MAKE THEM... whoever you were talkin to either meant cam gears or lied to you... there are no VVTI after market cams for the IS300... it was not by chance a younger kid from PA you were talkin to was it? was him name Jordan? please let me know..
