Yeah the F market is significantly smaller than the IS350 market so I would assume that would make the cost considerably more. I think at best we could maybe see an initial group buy price right at a 1000 with maybe a regular price of like 1200 but hey I am just speculating and hoping like anyone else.

$650 was just wishful thinking. At least the IS-F isn't like BMW. Anything for BMW is priced like it's gold-plated.

^^^ Agreed, Headers for a C63 are like 3-5 grand I think our 1200-2000 dollar range is sweet. Its like buying nice s2000 parts haha

Final pricing isn't set, but they will be around $1300 with the JetHot Polished ceramic coating.

We haven't decieded yet what will be done about the dipstick tube. We adjusted the stock one to fit and made a new bracket on our prototype. We may include a new one in the kit which would increase the price a bit.

The headers will come standard with parllel merge collectors, Lexus 60mm outlet gaskets, O2 sensor plug in wiring extensions, weld-on rear O2 bungs to keep the CEL off and JetHot brand Ceramic Coatings.

$1300 is pretty good! Its competitive compared to Sikky. I like the price so far.

Why are you testing with an aftermarket intake? Which one are you using?

Those are some pretty impressive gains with a stock exhaust. Im sure an aftermarket setup w/o secondary cats would yield higher numbers. Have you figured out a way to prevent a CEL without the primary cats? Keep up the good work, I am looking forward to the finals numbers and price.

I spoke with Paul and he mentioned they were still doing some final testing and shooting for a March release with the final price and numbers. He was very informative and looking forward to the final results.
